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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving discontinuation of a manufacturer's quality assurance program, creating a risk-of-harm scenario. However, no hospitalization reports or documented injuries are mentioned in the source, so the severity does not meet the 'Severe' threshold (Score 4), which requires hospitalization reports.
