What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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, and the defect involves measurement inaccuracy rather than a direct physical hazard like injury or death, fitting the Moderate category for minor functional defects.
