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: The recall involves a physical hazard (metal shavings) in a food product, which poses a risk of injury (choking or dental damage) even though no specific injuries are reported in the source text. This aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
