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, and the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

Plain-English summary
