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 classified this as a Class I recall, which establishes a minimum severity score of 4 per the rubric. Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen that can cause serious infection. No reported illnesses are stated in the source text, but the pathogen's potential for harm justifies the Severe classification required by the Class I agency designation.
