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 explicitly states that the information printed on the product label is correct and the issue is a documentation discrepancy, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
