Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall for temperature control failure of perishable beverages. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical but significant: improper storage of perishable foods creates conditions for high-risk bacterial contamination, placing this in the 'risk-of-harm without reported injury' category.
