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: FDA Class I classification applies; never go below 4 per rubric. While no illnesses have been reported, Salmonella contamination in a Class I recall warrants Severe rather than High severity.
