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: The FDA has classified this recall as Class I, which under the rubric warrants a minimum score of 4. Salmonella is a high-risk pathogen associated with serious foodborne illness. The source does not report illnesses or hospitalizations, but the Class I designation itself meets the Severe threshold.
