Our severity reasoning: The hazard involves risk of death by asphyxiation, a high-risk harm scenario involving a young child. Although no injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical at this time, the potential for fatal outcome makes this a High severity recall per the rubric criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
