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: This is a risk-of-harm product recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is that expired tests could produce inaccurate or invalid results, which could lead to incorrect health decisions. While FDA Class II, the functional integrity issue of an expired diagnostic test supports a High severity rating per the rubric criterion for theoretical risk-of-harm.
