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: This is an FDA Class I recall, which establishes a minimum severity of 4. Although no illnesses or deaths have been reported, the Class I classification and the presence of Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen, justify a Severe rating.
