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 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for potential plastic contamination in ready-to-eat mashed potatoes. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is physical contamination (choking/GI injury risk), which meets the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
