B. Class II
C. Class III
D. Class IV

Answer 1

The FDA recall classification that corresponds to products that might cause a temporary health problem or pose only a slight threat of a serious nature is Class II.

Step-by-step explanation:

The FDA class of recalls for products that might cause a temporary health problem, or pose only a slight threat of a serious nature, is Class II. FDA recall classifications are organised into three main classes based upon the level of hazard involved:

• Class I: A situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
• Class II: A situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
• Class III: A situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

Therefore, the answer to the question is B. Class II.
