This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

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, which typically involves a reasonable probability that the use of the product will not cause serious adverse health consequences. The hazard is a foreign material (nylon string) without reported illnesses, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
