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 applies to this recall. Although no illnesses or deaths have been reported, Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen, and the agency's Class I designation requires a minimum Severe rating.
