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: This is a labeling error involving species misidentification with no reported illnesses or injuries. FDA Class III recalls are typically low-severity. The hazard is the mislabeled product rather than a stated health risk from the species itself.
