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 involves a risk-of-harm product (electrosurgical instruments) where injury (burns and electric shock) has been reported, but the source text does not specify the severity of these injuries or mention hospitalizations, aligning with the 'High' severity criteria for reported injuries without explicit severe outcomes.
