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 II recall involving a manufacturing practice deviation. The source text contains no reports of illness, injury, or product failure; the hazard is procedural and precautionary in nature rather than acute. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without reported adverse events typically fall in the Moderate range.
