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 FDA classified this as a Class II recall, which corresponds to a 'Severe' rating under the rubric, particularly given the risk of injury from ingesting foreign objects like plastic.
