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 risk-of-harm products (serious burn injuries or death) where no injury has yet been reported, placing it at score 3 per the rubric. Although the hazard severity is substantial, the absence of reported illnesses and the theoretical nature of the risk cap the score at High rather than Severe.
