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 and burn hazard with two reported incidents of the product catching fire, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported but the hazard is severe.
