Translate a Product Recall Notice Into a Formal Villanelle
A villanelle's repeating lines are unforgiving, and testing them against something as flat as a recall notice shows whether you actually understand the form or are leaning on sentiment to fake it. This pulls the facts from the notice, builds two refrains from its own language, and holds the nineteen lines to the form exactly.

**Translate** the content of the recall notice into a villanelle.
1. Extract the core facts from the notice: what the product is, what the fault is, and what the reader is asked to do
2. Choose two refrain lines, the villanelle's repeating lines, drawn from or inspired by the notice's own language
3. Build the nineteen-line villanelle, five tercets and a closing quatrain, ABA rhyme scheme, two alternating refrains, around those facts, keeping the repeated lines meaningful rather than filler
4. Note where the strict form forced a compromise on meaning or clarity, and explain the trade-off made
</task>
<output_format>
- The two chosen refrain lines, stated before the poem
- The full nineteen-line villanelle, correctly formatted
- A short note on one compromise the form forced
- Length: poem exactly 19 lines; note under 80 words
- Tone: formally correct verse; the notice's factual content should still be identifiable inside it
