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, and the defect involves incorrect marker placement which is a labeling/identification issue rather than a direct structural failure or reported injury.
