This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 low probability of serious adverse health consequences. The hazard is foreign material (plastic/rubber), which is a physical hazard rather than a high-risk pathogen or allergen, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
