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 explicitly identifies the issue as a labeling error regarding market clearance rather than a physical defect or contamination. No injuries or illnesses are reported, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
