The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
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 II recall involving heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic) in baby food—a high-risk product category for vulnerable populations. Although no reported illnesses are stated in the source, the presence of these known neurotoxic and carcinogenic substances in food intended for infants meets the Severe threshold for Class II recalls with significant risk-of-harm potential.
