Counts reflect market size and reporting activity, not inherent danger, we do not rank products by risk from raw recall volume.

Do more recalls mean more Class I danger?

Medical Devices leads the archive by volume (41,070 recalls) at only 9% Class I, while Meat & Poultry is Class I far more often (68.5%) on a smaller slice (1,672). Most recalls is not the same as most Class I danger.
