What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: This FDA Class III voluntary recall involves a sub-potency issue with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is reduced efficacy rather than a direct safety concern. Per the rubric, Class III recalls are typically assigned scores of 1 or 2; with no adverse health outcomes reported, this is classified as Low.
