Quoted from the record as published. If a product is not described here, this notice does not tell us whether it was affected.

What Class II means

The FDA’s middle class: use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, and the probability of serious harm is remote.

This is the agency’s own definition of the class. We do not assign classes and we do not rank them against each other.
