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.

However, the potential for serious harm from metal shavings entering the bloodstream and requiring surgical intervention qualifies this as a high-risk product where injury has not yet been reported, per the rubric.
