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 a labeling error (label mixup) rather than a contamination or structural defect, and no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
