What this means for you

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 risk-of-harm product (fall hazard to children) where structural failure is possible. Although 207 wheel failures have been reported, the source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, which keeps this at the maximum of 3 under the rubric's theoretical-hazard criterion.
