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 source identifies this as an FDA Class II recall involving a CGMP deviation with a contaminated excipient. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or confirmed harm, and the hazard is related to a manufacturing practice deviation rather than a known high-risk pathogen. This fits the criteria for Moderate severity as a precautionary or quality-related recall.
