What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a manufacturing process deviation without reported product-specific harm, fitting the rubric criterion for voluntary precautionary recalls.
