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 mandates a minimum severity score of 4. No deaths or reported illnesses are documented in the source text. The hazard—missing required refrigeration labeling on non-shelf stable vegetables—creates a theoretical risk of pathogenic contamination if stored improperly.

Plain-English summary
