Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, compromised sterility poses a significant infection risk as a direct-contact medical device. This meets the rubric criterion for High severity: a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
