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: No injuries or deaths have been reported. The hazard is preventive—detached glass panels may increase crash risk but no incidents have occurred yet. This fits the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
