What this means for you

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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is described as 'potential' (unconfirmed) microbial contamination. Per the severity rubric, when no illnesses are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3. The precautionary nature of the recall with no confirmed harm justifies a score of 2 (Moderate).
