Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II voluntary precautionary recall with reported patient irritation but no serious injury or hospitalizations. The issues are primarily product quality defects (thickness, discoloration) affecting clinical function, consistent with the Moderate severity criterion for voluntary recalls.
