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 where incorrect diagnosis or treatment is possible, but the source explicitly states the error does not result in a hazardous situation and no injuries are reported.
