You let the manufacturer know, and you let them decide for the next steps.
No ultimatum to threaten to disclose to the public or to ruin their reputation, it's not your business.
In the meantime, you keep it for yourself.
You helped: no lawyers, no problems.
If really there is a safety issue, after a reasonable period of time you can inform the regulators, as it is their job to assess safety.
This is responsible disclosure, not TMZ-style public-shaming.
