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, and the hazard involves the potential presence of foreign material (food-grade rubber) without reported illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
