What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states the hazard poses "risk of serious injuries or death" and violates a mandatory safety standard (STURDY Act). Though no injuries have been reported, the structural tip-over/entrapment hazard to children and risk-of-death language meet the Severe (score 4) criterion for risk-of-harm products where the hazard is significant and clearly articulated.
