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: FDA Class II recall for a risk-of-harm medical device with no reported injuries or illnesses. The potential for fire and overheating poses significant risk in a clinical environment, though the hazard remains theoretical at this time.
