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: FDA Class II recall of a diagnostic device with mislabeled expiration date. No reported illnesses or injuries, but use of expired product may produce false test results, constituting a risk of harm to patient diagnostic accuracy. The hazard is theoretical rather than documented.
