Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a leaking pouch in a pre-surgical kit. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity, as it is a defect that could compromise the kit's integrity but does not involve high-risk pathogens or reported serious injuries.
