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 typically corresponds to a score of 1 or 2. A score of 2 is assigned due to the legal basis of the recall (consent decree) and the nature of the violation (unapproved new drugs/adulteration), which exceeds a simple cosmetic or documentation error.
