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: Although classified as FDA Class II, the source states only a potential sterile barrier compromise with no reported illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, when no illnesses/injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the maximum score is 3. Syringe tip caps are risk-of-harm medical devices; sterile barrier failure could lead to contamination and infection, justifying a 'High' rating.
