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 recalled battery packs pose risk of fire and burn harm, and the source explicitly names high-risk lithium-ion battery hazards with demonstrated short-circuit potential. Although only two overheating incidents were reported and no injuries occurred, the hazard involves fire risk from defective batteries—a risk-of-harm product category that meets the High threshold per the rubric.
