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: FDA Class II medical device recall with a serious potential hazard—endotoxin contamination that may trigger inflammatory response comparable to infection. However, the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is theoretical. Per the rubric, a score is at most 3 when illnesses are not reported and the hazard is theoretical.
