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 source metadata explicitly classifies this as a Class I recall, which corresponds to a Severe severity score (4) according to the rubric, as Class I indicates a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death.
