The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
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: The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall. Under the severity rubric, an FDA Class I classification, combined with Salmonella (a high-risk pathogen), warrants a severity score of at least 4. Although no illnesses have been reported in the source text, the agency's own classification mandates a minimum score of 4.
