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 potential breach of the sterile barrier on medical procedure kits, which poses a risk-of-harm to patients if contamination occurs. Although this is a Class II FDA recall with no reported illnesses to date, the potential for serious infection from a compromised sterile barrier on medical instruments justifies a High severity rating.
