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: FDA Class III recalls are typically assigned severity 1-2 per the rubric. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source. The cross-contamination hazard is theoretical without evidence of patient impact, warranting Moderate classification.
