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: This is an FDA Class II device recall involving a labeling error where the expiration date printed on packaging is shortened compared to the actual usable date. No illnesses, injuries, or product defect has been reported. The hazard is labeling-based rather than product-based.
