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 hazard is a labeling error where the ingredient is visible, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
