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: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which the rubric associates with minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination, typically resulting in a score of 1 or 2. Given the nature of impurity failures, a score of 2 is appropriate.
