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: Foreign material contamination (pen pieces) constitutes a risk-of-harm product where consumers could experience choking or internal injury if ingested. Although no illnesses have been reported and the hazard remains theoretical, the physical nature of the contamination elevates this beyond low-risk contamination.
