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 5/5 (Critical).

Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall. Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum are high-risk pathogens; Clostridium botulinum specifically can cause botulism, a serious and potentially fatal condition. FDA Class I classification alone qualifies this recall as Critical.
