Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with potential for patient harm (thermal injury-related tissue or structural damage requiring medical/surgical intervention). No reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source, and the language describes a potential risk rather than confirmed harm, keeping this at High rather than Severe.
