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 Class I designation indicates potential for serious adverse health consequences. Though no deaths or serious injuries are reported, the documented connector failure risk in a critical airway device warrants a Severe rating.
