Which recall class indicates a probability of serious health consequences or death?

• A. Class II
• B. Class III
• C. Class I
• D. Not a recall

Answer: (C)

Recall classifications communicate how serious and likely health risks are for a product. The highest level is used when there is a reasonable probability that use or exposure will cause serious health consequences or death. This is the best choice because it matches the description of a significant risk to health. Class II covers events that could cause temporary or reversible health problems or where the chance of serious harm is remote, and Class III covers issues unlikely to cause health problems or only mild effects. Not a recall does not describe a risk-based category, so it isn’t applicable here.
