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 III, which the rubric indicates is typically a score of 1 or 2. The hazard involves reduced reactivity for specific compounds, which is a functional defect rather than a direct physical injury risk, fitting the Moderate category for low-risk issues.
