What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (cracks in the boom hinge) that could cause the aerial platform to fall, resulting in personal injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.
