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 hazard involves manufacturing deviations in water quality rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or injury report, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures.
