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 indicates the primary risk is a surgical delay due to mislabeling rather than direct physical injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.
