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, which warrants a minimum severity score of 4. Although no illnesses have been reported and the Salmonella contamination is potential rather than confirmed, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious illness.
