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 based on cGMP manufacturing deviations. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is process-related rather than involving confirmed contamination or a known harmful condition.
