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 III recall for a subpotency issue (lower active ingredient than labeled). No illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations are reported in the source. The hazard is a labeling/potency discrepancy rather than a contamination or acute safety risk, consistent with a Moderate severity classification.
