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 FDA classified this recall as Class II. The source text does not report any actual illnesses, injuries, or confirmed cross-contamination—only the potential for it due to CGMP deviations. This meets the rubric criterion for a Moderate severity recall: manufacturing/precautionary issue without reported adverse outcomes.
