What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this recall as Class I, which meets the rubric criteria for a Critical severity score due to the high risk associated with undeclared allergens.
