What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fire hazard with one reported fire incident, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported but a serious hazard exists.
