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 agency classification is Class II, and the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving potential contamination without confirmed harm.
