USDA FSIS: Class I

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 source explicitly classifies this as USDA Class I, which per the rubric never goes below a score of 4 (Severe). Although no illnesses have been reported, the Class I designation mandates this severity level.
