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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a manufacturing process deviation (cGMP violation) rather than a specific health threat. Voluntary recall initiated by the manufacturer indicates lower immediate risk.
