Target is recalling 2,652 units of Ben & Jerry's 16oz Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake ice cream sold in Honolulu, Hawaii, due to improper temperature control during shipping.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states that no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical (potential contamination due to temperature abuse), which aligns with the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
