What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the agency classification is Class I. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I, the score must never go below 4.

Plain-English summary

Customed, Inc. has initiated a recall of Liposuction Pack MRT, code 900-2656. The recall involves one lot (140111441) containing 25 units. The product is an EO sterilized surgical convenient pack packaged in a polyester/polyethylene breather bag with Tyvek double vents.
