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: Ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin are toxic chemicals regulated as hazardous sterilization residues. The product is classified as a permanent-contact device with direct skin exposure, and residue levels exceeded established safety limits. Although no reported illnesses or injuries exist, the chemical hazard combined with permanent skin contact justifies a High severity rating under the risk-of-harm criterion.
