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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard involves undeclared dyes, which is a labeling issue rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
