Do more recalls mean more Class I danger?

Children & Baby Products sits at the 57th percentile of category volume (4,017 recalls) and the 43rd percentile of Class I rate (14.2% of agency-classified notices) among 7 categories with enough classified rows to measure, those two ranks are not interchangeable.
