What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: This FDA Class II recall involves a labeling deficiency rather than a manufacturing defect or reported safety incident. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical and being addressed through product labeling, which qualifies as Moderate severity under the rubric.
