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 source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, so the score cannot exceed 3 per the rubric. However, the hazard is a risk-of-harm product (protective equipment that fails its safety function), and the source describes a risk of serious injury or death, placing it at the upper end of the "High" category.
