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: The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, and the hazard is Listeria monocytogenes, a high-risk pathogen. Per the severity rubric, FDA Class I recalls must score at least 4, and Listeria without reported illness remains a high-risk contamination that warrants a Severe classification.
