What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

Our severity reasoning: Nine fire incidents have been reported, which constitutes significant injury/property-damage reports or risk-of-harm with confirmed incidents. This meets the Severe (score 4) criterion for risk-of-harm products where fire-related incidents have been documented.
