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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text describes potential significant health consequences such as nonunion and delayed union, but does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
