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 involving a dietary supplement with a stability defect. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a reduction in potency rather than contamination or acute harm. This meets the criteria for a Moderate severity score.
