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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a potential specification failure rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
