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: This is an FDA Class I recall, which the agency's classification indicates is a serious issue. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, the reported connector disconnections from endotracheal tubes—which are critical for patient airway management—present a significant risk of harm that justifies the Class I designation.
