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: FDA Class II recall of sterile medical device components with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is potential rather than confirmed—loss of sterility or device contamination could occur due to packaging defects. This scores as High (3) because sterility loss on implanted orthopedic devices constitutes a risk-of-harm product with serious potential consequences, even though no injuries have been reported yet.
