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 FDA classified this as Class II. No illnesses, injuries, or adverse events are reported in the source text. The hazard is an out-of-specification impurity detected during stability testing, representing a potential quality control issue rather than an imminent safety threat with documented harm.
