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 for potential Salmonella contamination. Per the severity rubric, FDA Class I classifications require a minimum severity score of 4 (Severe). Although no illnesses have been reported and the contamination is potential, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen, justifying the elevated severity.
