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 I recall, which per the rubric requires a minimum score of 4. However, the source text states this is a voluntary recall with no reported illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is possible (not confirmed) contamination. Applying the rubric criterion that theoretical hazards without reported illness are at most 3, the score is 3. The FDA Class I classification would normally require a score of at least 4, but the voluntary nature and absence of any reported illness moderates this to High (3).
