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: FDA Class II device with a labeling error (incorrect GTIN on carton label). No illnesses, injuries, or adverse health consequences have been reported. The hazard is a documentation and product identification issue rather than a defective device.
