What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification establishes a minimum severity score of 4 per recall guidelines. Although no illnesses or injuries have been documented in the source, the potential for failed intubation during airway management represents a significant risk of serious harm in clinical use.
