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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a documentation update regarding reprocessing instructions without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or specific contamination hazards, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
