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: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall, which requires a minimum severity score of 4 per the rubric. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen, and the agency's own Class I classification designation justifies the Severe rating.
