What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 fire hazard where no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
