This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a physical hazard (metal particles) that poses a risk of injury to consumers. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, the potential for harm from foreign matter in beverages warrants a High severity classification per the rubric criteria for risk-of-harm products.
