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 cites a procedural failure (unvalidated retesting) rather than a specific product defect or reported injury, aligning with a moderate severity assessment for a voluntary precautionary recall.
