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 a Class II recall by the FDA. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or adverse events—only a manufacturing deviation involving a contaminated excipient. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls without reported hospitalization or significant injury reports typically score as 2 (Moderate), and the absence of reported harm indicates a precautionary action.
