Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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: The recall involves a medical device (toilet and bath chair) where a structural defect (aluminum gas spring) poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
