What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 a Class II drug recall involving a manufacturing compliance violation (improper temperature storage) with no reported illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations.
