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: FDA classified this as Class I, the highest risk classification. The contamination involves Clostridium botulinum, a high-risk pathogen capable of causing potentially fatal botulism, and Cronobacter sakazakii, a serious pathogenic organism.
