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 III recall for a labeling/packaging-related quality defect (failed moisture limits) with no reported illnesses or injuries. Per the rubric, Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2, and moisture control issues represent a manufacturing defect rather than an acute safety hazard, warranting a Moderate classification.
