Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves glass contamination, a hazard capable of causing serious injury (laceration, choking). Although no illness or injury has been reported to date, the physical hazard of glass presents significant risk of harm and meets the criteria for Severe severity.
