The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
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 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 for a physical contaminant (metal fragments) that poses a risk of harm (choking, mouth/throat injury, internal injury). No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, so per the rubric, the score is at most 3; the hazard is concrete and significant, warranting a High severity designation.
