This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
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: This is an FDA Class II device recall involving a structural defect that could result in separation of a heavy monitor mount, creating risk of injury. The source does not report any illnesses or injuries to date, but the hazard of hardware failure leading to falling equipment qualifies as a risk-of-harm product per the rubric.
