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 for Listeria monocytogenes contamination requires a Severe rating per the rubric, as Class I recalls are never rated below 4. Listeria is a high-risk pathogen, though no illnesses have been reported.
