What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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 mandates a minimum severity score of 4. Although no illnesses have been reported, Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen and the FDA's Class I determination reflects a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences.
