What this means for you
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: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. While no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, metal fragments present a risk of physical harm (choking, mouth/throat injury) that could occur upon consumption. This meets the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
