What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving a serious hazard (retained needle in scalp) that could result in patient injury. However, the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score as High (3).
