What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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: The recall involves a medical device with a manufacturing defect (wrong design) where no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
