## Why This Recall is Important
Your health and safety could be at risk. *Salmonella* contamination is no minor issue—it can lead to severe infections. While healthy individuals may only experience symptoms such as fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, those with weaker immune systems could face life-threatening complications.
In extreme cases, *Salmonella* infections can spread to the bloodstream, causing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis. Acting promptly to check your eggs and avoid consumption could prevent unnecessary health risks.
