An example of a Class I recall is a morphine tablet that is 10 times more potent than intended. What class is this recall?

Explanation:
Class I recalls are the most serious. They involve a reasonable probability that use or exposure to the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. A morphine tablet that is 10 times more potent presents a high risk of overdose and life-threatening effects, so it fits the Class I category. Class II recalls involve temporary or reversible health problems or where the probability of harm is remote, and Class III recalls are for hazards unlikely to cause adverse health effects. No recall would not apply here because there is a real, significant hazard. So this recall is Class I.
