What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 specific issue is a documentation and labeling error (extended expiration date) with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
