The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says a previously announced recall of certain bags of Lay’s potato chips in Oregon and Washington now falls into “Class I” status, its highest risk

Class I, according to the FDA, means exposure to or consumption of the product could cause "serious adverse health consequences or death."

The Food and Drug Administration has newly classified the December recall of some Lay’s Classic Potato Chips sold in Oregon and Washington with the designation reserved for the highest degree of health hazard.
