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: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall. Per the severity rubric, FDA Class I recalls receive a minimum score of 4. Although no illnesses are reported in the source text, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen that can cause serious illness, and Class I classification reflects the agency's assessment of significant health risk.
