This classification reflects FDA's assessment of the product defect described above, not a prediction about any specific patient outcome. FDA maintains a public enforcement report database so that consumers, physicians, and purchasers can look up the exact product identifiers involved before deciding what to do. Recall status can change while FDA and the recalling firm continue corrective actions, so checking the firm's own notice for the most current guidance is recommended.
