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 hazard involves risk of falls from a consumer product where injury has not been reported. While nine reports of breaking have been documented, only two reports of minor injuries (scrapes and bruises) have occurred, and no serious injury or hospitalization is documented. This fits the High criteria for a risk-of-harm product where only minor injury has been reported.
