What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA classification as Class I requires a severity score of at least 4. The source reports connector disconnection incidents but does not document deaths or hospitalizations, placing this at Severe rather than Critical.
