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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error regarding tube size, which is a significant but potentially reversible issue compared to structural failures or contamination.
