A recall in which use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences is called a

• A. Class II recall
• B. Class I recall
• C. No recall
• D. Class III recall

Answer: (D)

Understanding recalls by health risk helps explain why this item points to the least severe category. When exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences, the appropriate recall is Class III. This category is used for remote risk—there may be a defect, but the likelihood of any harm to consumers is minimal, so the urgency is lower than with other recalls. By contrast, Class I involves a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death, and Class II covers possible temporary or reversible adverse health effects or a scenario where serious harm could occur but is not as immediate as Class I. “No recall” isn't a recall category at all. So the best answer is Class III recall.
