What this means for you

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 risk of harm (burns) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.
