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: This is a choking hazard involving a product intended for young children. Although no injuries have been reported and the hazard is based on a structural defect risk rather than contamination, the high-risk nature of choking injuries in young children and the fact that three incidents of leg breakage have already occurred place this in the High category per the severity rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
