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 a voluntary FDA Class II recall based on CGMP deviations rather than a specific identified contamination, defect, or ingredient issue. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or confirmed adverse health consequences; the recall is precautionary in nature.
