What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recalled product poses a risk of serious injury or death due to violation of mandatory federal safety standards; however, the source explicitly states no injuries or deaths have been reported. This meets the "High" criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
