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 initiated voluntarily by the manufacturer due to cGMP deviations. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is manufacturing process-related rather than a known product contamination or defect with documented harm. Class II recalls with no reported illness and voluntary firm initiation typically warrant a Moderate severity rating.
