Safety signal / 100
How this signal is calculated
Dell carries a safety signal of 77/100 (moderate concern), based only on public CPSC facts:
- 3 recall(s) on record
- Hazard types: Fire / Overheating, Electric Shock
- 50,000 total units recalled
- Manufactured in: Japan, China, Taiwan
- Recognized certifications: none on file
Recent recalls and higher-severity hazards reduce the signal more. Absence of a recall is not a guarantee of safety.
