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 agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a severity score of at least 4 per the rubric. Additionally, undeclared milk is a high-risk allergen mislabeling.
