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 agency classification is FDA Class II. According to the rubric, an FDA Class II recall with potential for adverse health consequences (lack of sterility) corresponds to a score of 4 (Severe), as it does not meet the criteria for Class I (Critical) but is more severe than a theoretical risk without reported illness.
