Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of sterile surgical instruments with reports of packaging issues that could compromise the sterile barrier. The rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products applies here, and no illnesses or injuries have been reported, placing this at the High level per the rule that theoretical hazards without reported harm score at most 3.
