Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall involving a confirmed manufacturing defect (misaligned axis) that causes functional failure (incorrect lens power and poor visual acuity). Contact lenses are risk-of-harm medical devices, and while no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the defect poses a risk of vision-related complications.
