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: FDA Class I classification requires a minimum score of 4 per the rubric. Although no illnesses have been reported, the undeclared allergen (almonds) poses a serious health hazard to affected consumers.
