Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is related to manufacturing quality (viscosity) rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the criteria for a moderate, precautionary recall.
