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 indicates a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a stability failure (separation) rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures.
