The agency’s classification

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. According to the rubric, an FDA Class II recall with potential for significant injury or property damage (implied by 'injurious to health' and 'insanitary conditions') falls under the Severe category (Score 4), as it is not Class I (Critical) but exceeds the threshold for High (Score 3) which typically applies to theoretical risks without reported illness or specific high-risk pathogens like Listeria.
