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 a diagnostic reagent recall where stability deterioration has caused quality control failures. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the loss of accuracy in a Beta-Hydroxybutyrate diagnostic test represents a risk-of-harm situation where laboratory test results may be unreliable, potentially affecting diagnosis of serious metabolic conditions.
