FDA classified recall Z-1300-2024 as Class I
type: Claim
text: The FDA assigned this recall Class I: Class I — the FDA judged there is a reasonable probability that use of the product would cause serious harm or death.. This is the FDA's official risk classification — its regulatory DETERMINATION of the hazard category (a verdict constituted by the FDA's recognition, occurred=FALSE), adjudged=TRUE because the FDA issued it. It is NOT a measurement of harm to any specific person.

Distinct from a recorded measurement (which has an independent truthmaker) and from a modeled figure (a computed quantity, not a verdict). Challengeable; superseded if the authority reclassifies.

What an FDA recall is — and is NOT
type: Claim
text: A recall is a RECORDED FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product, classed by the FDA's risk judgment. It does NOT establish that any specific unit is affected or caused harm; causation is not established. This record informs and compares — it is NOT medical advice and does not tell anyone to start or stop a drug or device. For a medical decision, route to the FDA recall record and a licensed pharmacist or prescriber.

  value: a recorded enforcement action, not proof of harm or causation; not medical advice
falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (an in-house reading, not an authority's verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. A flat representation would render this identically to the official facts; the four-status does not.
