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, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard (discoloration) is a quality defect without immediate reported harm, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
