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: Salmonella contamination would typically be classified as High severity; however, the FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum score of 4 per the severity rubric, resulting in Severe classification.
