Because it’s not recalled. Supposedly only iceberg lettuce was affected.

Take the number of products in the field (A) and multiply it by the probable rate of injury/death (B), then multiply the result by the average cost of an out-of-court settlement (C). A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, they don't do one.
