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 labeling error that could lead to temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a label mixup rather than a contamination or structural defect.
