This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
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 recall involves the presence of lead and metal fragments, which are significant physical and chemical hazards. Per the rubric, significant injury or property damage reports or structural defects warrant a score of 4, and FDA Class II recalls with serious potential harm align with this severity.
