What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the firm received complaints of illnesses due to consumption of the recalled products. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported (or where illness is reported but not classified as severe by the agency) fall under High severity. The agency classification is Class III, but the explicit mention of illness elevates the risk profile above a standard Class III cosmetic or labeling issue.
