contents We demonstrate that any four-dimensional shrinking Ricci soliton $(\mathcal B \times {\mathbb S^2}, g)$, where $\mathcal B$ is any two-dimensional complete noncompact surface and $g$ is a warped product metric over the base $\mathcal B$, has to be isometric to the generalized cylinder $\mathbb R^2\times\mathbb S^2$ equipped with the standard cylindrical metric. After completing this classification, we study Ricci flow solutions that are multiply warped products -- but not products -- and provide rigorous examples of the formation of generalized cylinder singularity models $\mathbb R^k\times\mathbb S^\ell$.
