Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
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 requires a minimum score of 4 per the rubric. Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum are high-risk pathogens capable of causing serious illness. While no illnesses have been reported in the source text, the confirmed findings of these pathogens in a widely distributed product warrant a Severe classification.
