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 medical device (patient lift) where a structural failure (strap break) poses a risk of harm to patients, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
