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 Current Good Manufacturing Practice deviations. No illnesses, injuries, or adverse events are reported in the source documentation. CGMP violations represent process-level compliance issues rather than confirmed contamination or defect, aligning with the Moderate severity classification for voluntary precautionary recalls.
