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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, which corresponds to a moderate risk of temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is mold contamination, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
