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 that might cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is underdosing, which is a quality issue rather than a high-risk pathogen or critical structural defect, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
