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: Although two injuries have been reported (minor scrapes and bruises), the hazard involves a fall risk to children from a structural defect in a product designed to hold infants and young children. This meets the rubric criterion for a risk-of-harm product where injury has been reported, placing it in the High category.
