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 with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is stability failure, which is a quality/integrity issue rather than an acute safety threat. The source text contains no evidence of harm or hospitalization.
