What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for a drug quality defect. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is a manufacturing/quality-control failure rather than contamination or acute risk of harm. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without hospitalization reports and no reported illness are scored as Moderate (2).
