Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries mentioned in the source text. The hazard—incorrectly manufactured liquid adhesive—is a manufacturing defect of a medical device, but without evidence of harm, this meets the criteria for Moderate severity per the rubric.
