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 situation that may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a plastic foreign object, which is a physical contamination risk rather than a biological or chemical one, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
