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 a regulatory compliance issue regarding a safety feature, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary

Aerolase Corporation is recalling 649 units of LightPod Neo Lasers distributed nationwide in the United States. The recall is being conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
