The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class I

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

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: The source metadata explicitly identifies the agency classification as Class I. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I, the score must never go below 4.
