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 identifies the issue as mislabeling without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.
