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 recall involves a risk-of-harm product (fire hazard from fuel leak) where actual incidents—14 fuel leaks and 3 fires—have been documented. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard is neither purely theoretical nor low-risk. This meets the High-severity threshold for a documented risk-of-harm scenario with actual events reported.
