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 a precautionary quality-control failure—failed impurity specifications—rather than an actual adverse event, consistent with a Moderate-severity classification.
