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 medical device recall with quality control failures affecting product performance. No illnesses or injuries reported; the hazard is potential rather than confirmed, meeting the criterion of 'risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.'
