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: The source text states this is an FDA Class II recall. Clostridium botulinum is a high-risk pathogen capable of causing serious illness or death, and under-processing directly creates a botulism hazard. Per the rubric, FDA Class II with a serious pathogen hazard (even without reported illnesses in this notice) warrants a Severe classification.
