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: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Although no illnesses have been reported, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen, and the Class I designation reflects the FDA's assessment of reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences.
