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: FDA Class II recall for potential mold and mildew contamination from moisture exposure. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed. This meets the criteria for a low-risk contamination, precautionary recall.
