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 a high-risk choking scenario affecting young children, with documented reports of the button detaching. Although no serious injury or death has been reported, the theoretical risk of choking and one report of gagging on a dislodged button justify a High severity classification per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products.
