What this means for you
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: This is a Class II recall with a manufacturing defect preventing proper product function. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, making the hazard theoretical.
