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 a voluntary precautionary action for a defect that causes a delay in therapy rather than direct physical injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
