What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class III recalls are by definition unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The source text describes a labeling error with no reported illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is theoretical.
