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 classification mandates minimum score of 4 per the rubric. Source reports actual connector disconnections with no reported deaths or injuries, so score remains 4 (Severe) rather than 5 (Critical).
