What this means for you

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 mechanical defect that could lead to injury (yoke detachment), but the source text does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
