This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
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 agency classification is FDA Class III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The recall is driven by regulatory violations (misbranding/adulteration) rather than reported acute physical harm.
