What changed
The recall was formally reannounced after additional incidents, including one fatality, have occurred since the initial recall in 2025. The number of incidents has now risen to 51, with 28 new reports in the past year.
Why we think this could happen
If Casely fails to effectively address these safety concerns, it may face not only declining sales but also potential legal action from affected consumers and increased scrutiny from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
