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 recall is classified as FDA Class I, which per the rubric mandates a minimum severity score of 4. While no deaths or serious injuries are reported in the source text, the presence of a high-risk pathogen (Listeria monocytogenes) combined with the Class I classification elevates the severity beyond moderate levels.
