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 medical device recall for a safety-critical grounding product with no reported illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported scores 3.
