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. The hazard is a structural defect (can seam) that compromises integrity, which is a moderate risk of harm without reported illnesses or specific biological pathogens.
