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: Rubric level 2 covers low-risk, precautionary recalls: the fault is a product mix-up during packaging rather than a defect, and the source describes no hazard, illness or injury.
