What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This recall is classified as FDA Class I, which per the severity rubric requires a score of at least 4. Although no illnesses or hospitalizations are explicitly reported in the source text, Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious foodborne illness, and the Class I designation indicates a reasonable probability of serious health consequences.
