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: The recall involves a high-risk medical device (spinal implant) where a potential mix-up of components could lead to harm, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
