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 requires a minimum severity score of 4. Listeria monocytogenes is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious infection. No illnesses are reported in the source document, preventing a Critical score, but the agency's Class I designation and the serious nature of the pathogen justify a Severe classification.
