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 with no reported hospitalizations or injuries. The defect involves nonconforming packaging—missing oxygen barrier layer—which represents a risk-of-harm situation for an implanted medical device where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the rubric criteria for Score 3 (High).
