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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is functional—storage condition exceedance that may degrade product performance—rather than an acute safety risk. Class II recalls without reported harm are typically scored as Moderate (2) per the rubric.
