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 III, which the rubric defines as typically resulting in a score of 1 or 2 because it is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard involves undeclared dye, which is a labeling issue rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
