What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. While undeclared allergens present a theoretical hazard to sensitive individuals, the absence of any reported adverse events and the Class III classification indicate the lowest severity tier.
