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 an FDA Class III recall involving an incorrect chemical used in the washing process. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Class III recalls are typically scored 1–2; the use of an incorrect chemical warrants Moderate rather than Low severity.
