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 issue is a procedural deviation (failure to reset the device) rather than a confirmed defect causing injury or a high-risk pathogen, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures.
