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 II. The hazard is misbranding and product identity error (wrong tablets in the bottle), which falls under minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination without reported injuries or illnesses.
