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, but the source text describes the hazard as discomfort due to stretching rather than a risk of serious injury or death, aligning with the criteria for moderate severity involving low-risk issues or voluntary precautionary actions.
