The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This recall is classified as FDA Class I, which requires a minimum severity score of 4. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, Staphylococcus aureus is a serious bacterial pathogen capable of causing infections in nasal and sinus tissue. FDA Class I classification combined with the serious nature of the contaminant warrants a Severe rating.
