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 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity where the hazard is unlikely to cause serious adverse health consequences but may cause temporary or medically reversible harm. The presence of plastic pieces is a physical hazard that does not meet the criteria for High severity (such as high-risk pathogens or common allergen mislabeling) or Severe severity (structural defects or significant injury reports).
