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.
