Do more recalls mean more Class I danger?

Meat & Poultry sits at the 29th percentile of category volume (1,672 recalls) and the 100th percentile of Class I rate (68.5% of agency-classified notices) among 7 categories with enough classified rows to measure, those two ranks are not interchangeable.

Each point is a product category plotted by total recalls (x) and Class I share of agency-classified notices (y). Crosshairs mark the within-sample medians (4,017 recalls · 15.7% Class I).
