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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score. The hazard involves sub-potent alcohol levels, which is a labeling/potency issue rather than a direct physical injury risk like choking or fire, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
