This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

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 II, which typically involves a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The presence of a foreign matter strand represents a potential choking or injury hazard, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
