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: This is a Class III recall with a contamination hazard (plastic pieces) that poses a risk of injury. However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the distribution scope is limited to a single state, supporting a Moderate classification rather than High.
