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 FDA classified this as a Class II recall, which typically indicates a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, aligning with the 'Moderate' severity criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
