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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text explicitly states that no illnesses or injuries have been reported, which aligns with the rubric for a High severity score (risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported).
