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 II, but the source text explicitly states that the hazard is theoretical (could cause contamination) and does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
