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: Rubric level 3 covers risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported: an appliance circuit board that can overheat presents a fire hazard, and the source records no incidents or injuries.
