This is the agency’s own definition of the class. We do not assign classes and we do not rank them against each other.

We have not matched this notice to any product in our database — usually because it named no barcode we hold. Products may still have been affected.
Nobody has yet assessed whether this notice concerns the products we track for this company, so it is not shown on product pages.
