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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a packaging error (incorrect DFU) without explicit evidence of significant harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
