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 malfunction that poses a risk of harm (rapid dropping of the table) but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
