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: FDA Class II recall for labeling defect (undeclared ingredient). No illnesses or injuries reported. The hazard is theoretical, qualifying as a minor labeling error without demonstrated harm.
