Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall affecting medical devices used in invasive surgical procedures. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the identified quality issues (leaks and breakage) in surgical syringes represent a risk of harm to patients, meeting the criteria for a high-severity recall.
