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: This is an FDA Class I recall, the FDA's most serious classification. FDA Class I indicates a reasonable probability that use or exposure will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The presence of Salmonella and nationwide distribution justify this classification despite the absence of reported illnesses to date.
