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 does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is limited to missing labeling on sales demo kits, which aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
