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: This is an FDA Class I recall, which requires a minimum severity score of 4 according to the rubric. While Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen, the source text does not report any confirmed illnesses or deaths, preventing classification as Critical.
