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 recall involves a choking hazard to young children, which is a high-risk product defect. The source text explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, so the score is limited to a maximum of 3 per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
