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, and the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a quality defect (subpotency and high pH) rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
