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, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths, nor does it specify a high-risk pathogen or structural defect. Therefore, it is treated as a moderate risk based on the lack of reported harm and the general nature of the quality issue.
