What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 for mislabeling and mispackaging of prescription-only compression sleeves. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where improper labeling could affect patient safety, proper use, and regulatory compliance.
