What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is for a labeling discrepancy where the source text explicitly states the information printed on the product label is correct, indicating a documentation or packaging-only issue with no reported health consequences.
