What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 recall involves a choking hazard—a risk-of-harm product where injury could occur. Although two instances of ball detachment have been reported, no illnesses or injuries have been reported to date. This fits the rubric criterion for a High severity score: "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported."
