What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source documents actual fires and significant property damage (more than $360,000 in reported damages from two incidents), which meets the rubric criterion for "Severe" (score 4) as a risk-of-harm product with documented incident and property-damage reports. No deaths were reported, so the score does not reach Critical.
