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: FDA graded this Class III, which the rubric places in the 1-2 band, and the source describes an observed dark spot without identifying a specific hazard.
