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 action is to update documentation regarding contraindications and potential complications, which aligns with the rubric for minor labeling errors or documentation issues.
