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, and the hazard involves a compromised sterile barrier without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
