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 due to a labeling error (IFU mismatch) which is a minor documentation issue unlikely to cause serious harm, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors.
