Ledger still needs to get their new HW wallet certified. If the required certification isn't obtained, I guess the production won't go ahead or it will be delayed. Those who preordered will in that case receive refunds.

They don't even know if it is safe yet!

Please note that delivery of the product is conditional upon completion of the applicable product certification process.
Should the product certification not be obtained, Ledger will automatically issue the refund.
