Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall involving risk of serious injury from structural failure. The source does not report any illnesses or injuries; the hazard is potential rather than realized. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported warrant a High severity score.
