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 recall involves a high-risk hazard (lead poisoning) in a product accessible to young children, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
