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: Lead contamination is a risk-of-harm hazard. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but lead is a known serious health threat, particularly to vulnerable populations.
