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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical packs) where injury has not yet been reported, and the hazard is theoretical (possibility of compromised integrity), which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported illness.
