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. According to the recall rubric, FDA Class I recalls warrant a minimum severity score of 4. Although no illnesses have been reported, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen, and the Class I designation from the FDA requires a Severe designation.
