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 II, but the source text describes a potential cross-contact scenario without reporting specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary
