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 an FDA Class II recall involving a high-risk biological contaminant (endotoxin) in sterile surgical supplies with potential for serious infection if contaminated product contacts internal tissue. The source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, making this a theoretical risk scenario that qualifies as High per the rubric.
