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 choking hazard for infants with one reported incident of an infant gagging, which fits the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
