Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The defect is a packaging issue (hole in tray) that risks sterility, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the Moderate category for low-risk contamination or precautionary measures.
