What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device with a functional defect (leaking) that poses a risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any specific injuries, illnesses, or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
