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: This is an FDA Class I recall. Although no illnesses or hospitalizations are explicitly reported in the source text, the presence of Listeria monocytogenes—a high-risk pathogen capable of serious illness—on food contact surfaces in a ready-to-eat food facility, combined with the Class I classification, elevates this to Severe per the rubric criterion for Class I recalls.
