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 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification establishes a minimum severity of 4 per the rubric. Although no illnesses have been reported, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious foodborne illness, and the Class I designation indicates reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences.
