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 1/5 (Low).

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. Mold growth on the external packaging constitutes a packaging-only issue, fitting the 'Low' severity category per the rubric.
