What this means for you

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 FDA has classified this as a Class II recall. The source text identifies a potential hazard (glass and metal contamination) but does not report any illnesses, injuries, or confirmed contamination events, making this a precautionary recall that warrants a Moderate severity rating.
