What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect can lead to 'possible death,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for Severe (4) involving significant injury or death risks, even though no specific fatalities were reported in the text.
