Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. Lead and cadmium are high-risk contaminants with documented health hazards. No reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source text, making the hazard theoretical at present, which limits the score to 3 per the rubric criteria for high-risk contaminants without reported illness.
