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 indicates a remote possibility of serious adverse health consequences. The hazard is physical contamination with small pieces of plastic, which is a moderate risk.
