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 recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a contamination issue with an excipient from a supplier. However, the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations related to the contaminated product, and no specific hazard from the excipient is identified, making this a precautionary recall with moderate concern.
