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: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which the rubric defines as typically resulting in a score of 1 or 2. Given the presence of undeclared preservatives, a score of 2 (Moderate) is appropriate as it involves a labeling error that is not cosmetic but also not high-risk.
