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 FDA Class II recall involves mislabeling of critical product dimensions on a pediatric surgical device. The dimension error creates a risk that an incorrectly sized graft could be implanted, which could compromise patient outcomes. With no reported injuries but clear risk-of-harm potential, this meets the High severity threshold.
