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 involves a situation where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is regulatory (unapproved/unregistered) rather than a specific physical defect or contamination with reported injuries.
