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. The hazard is regulatory (lack of clearance) rather than a direct physical defect causing injury, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
