What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall meets the "Severe" criterion because there are reported burn injuries including three cases of second-degree burns, demonstrating significant injury reports even though no agency classification (FDA Class II, USDA Class I) is provided. The 22 burn injuries documented in 127 incident reports establish harm beyond theoretical risk.
