Plant Divas Clay Products Recalled for Excessive Microorganisms

Plant Divas Inc. is recalling French Rose Clay and Moroccan Rhassoul Clay products because FDA testing found excessive numbers of microorganisms.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

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: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall, and the source text explicitly states that 'virulent' microorganisms were found, which aligns with the rubric criteria for Severe severity involving significant health risks.
