This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 indicates a regulatory compliance issue (lack of clearance) rather than a specific physical defect or reported injury, aligning with a moderate severity for a voluntary precautionary or compliance-driven recall.
