Miami Fat Supply Recalls Red Head 2 Fat Harvesting Canisters

Miami Fat Supply is recalling 443 Red Head 2 Reusable Fat Harvesting Canisters because they were marketed without FDA clearance and are not approved for multiple use.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is regulatory (lack of clearance/approval for reuse) rather than a confirmed acute safety failure, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk or theoretical hazards without reported harm.
