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: Scored 2 because the record cites an incorrect compatibility statement in a technique guide with no stated consequence or reported harm.
