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 hazard involves a component mismatch that could affect the fit of the implant, but no injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
