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 III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is primarily regulatory (misbranding/adulteration) rather than an acute physical danger.
