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 with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—inadequate sterilization of surgical devices—is theoretical, meeting the criterion for a risk-of-harm product with no reported injury.
