The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

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 source reports that the product is difficult to remove and leaves adhesive residue on the skin, but does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths.
