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 corresponds to a Moderate severity score (2) when no specific injuries or illnesses are reported and the hazard is related to manufacturing deviations (sub-potency) rather than acute toxicity or infection.
