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 Class II. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or incidents of actual plastic consumption; the hazard is potential contamination. This meets the criteria for Moderate severity.
