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 medical device recall. The packaging defect poses a risk of device contamination and loss of sterility, which could harm patients. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard remains theoretical at this time.
