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 of a medical device where temperature exposure may have compromised product effectiveness. The hazard is effectiveness-related rather than safety-critical, and no incident reports are documented in the source material. It qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
