What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a potential risk of finger entrapment from unexpected collapse. This is a voluntary precautionary recall by the retailer, consistent with a Moderate severity rating for products where harm has not yet occurred.
