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.

Although no illnesses have been reported and contamination is characterized as potential rather than confirmed, the agency's classification reflects the inherent risk of pathogenic Salmonella.
