Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 recall is classified as High because it involves a risk-of-harm product where physical injury has not yet been reported. The presence of brush bristles presents a potential choking hazard, and the FDA has classified this as a Class II recall.
