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 FDA Class II medical device recall involves a potential structural defect (compromised metal mounting box) with risk of mechanical component failure and fragment expulsion. No injuries have been reported, but the hazard meets the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
