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: This is a risk-of-harm medical device where a metal component may be expelled and cause injury to users, but no injuries have been reported. Although classified as FDA Class II, the lack of reported hospitalizations or injuries means it does not meet the threshold for Severe (score 4).
