The caption and the remedy steps are the record's own words.
The picture shows the kind of thing the record is about (a part, a product, a package), not the product itself; the ring marks it. Nothing in it is a claim beyond the record's own words below. The test dummy stands for the risk the notice names (“risk of a crash”); it is not a record of something that happened.
