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 may result in injury or death, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or risk of serious harm, warranting a Severe rating.
