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: The recall is FDA Class II, which typically corresponds to a High severity score when the defect poses a risk of harm but no serious injury has been reported. The potential for device failure due to burrs on extraction threads warrants this classification.
