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 involving a sterility assurance issue for a pharmaceutical product. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or confirmed contamination—only a lack of assurance of sterility. Per the severity rubric, sterility concerns without reported adverse outcomes and without FDA Class I classification warrant a Moderate rating.
