Why it was recalled
Lack of Assurance of Sterility; potential for leakage from the diaphragm port once the foil is removed.

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall.
