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 corresponds to a moderate severity score. The hazard involves false labeling and health claims rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
