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 of a medical device with a direct manufacturing defect causing functional harm (incorrect lens power leading to poor visual acuity). No hospitalizations, deaths, or reported illnesses have been documented, but the hazard is not theoretical. This meets the rubric criterion for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
