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 structural safety defect (insufficient emergency exits) that increases the risk of personal injury during an emergency, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary
