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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a theoretical risk of reduced efficacy or stability due to temperature excursions, fitting the 'voluntary precautionary recalls' or 'low-risk contamination' criteria for a Moderate score.
