Corrective action
The product has been recalled from end users by AliExpress. Affected consumers have been contacted directly by the online marketplace.
Consumers should stop using the product immediately. Do not handle the needle. Place the needle in a puncture-resistant container and secure the lid to prevent the needle from protruding or causing injury and ensure it is kept out of reach of children until it can be disposed of safely.
