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.

The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making this a manufacturing or precautionary recall. Per the rubric, this qualifies as Moderate.
