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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a medical device with a risk-of-harm hazard (sharp edges, potential for skin abrasions, lacerations, and tissue injury). The source text does not report any confirmed illnesses or injuries to date, so the score does not exceed 3 per the rubric.
