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: The source text explicitly states that the deficiencies 'may result in patient infection,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or high-risk contamination scenarios that warrant a Severe (4) classification.
