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 II recall. The source text does not report any illnesses, hospitalizations, or injuries, only a manufacturing deviation with an impurity above recommended limits. The hazard is manufacturing-related rather than a known high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
