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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a medical device where sterilization may be inadequate, creating a direct risk of harm (contamination/infection) to patients. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, but the potential for serious harm is inherent in a sterilization failure. This fits the High category criterion for risk-of-harm medical devices where injury has not yet been reported.
