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 FDA classified this as Class II. The source text states only a potential defect (open seal) with no reported illnesses, injuries, or confirmed sterility compromise, making this a precautionary recall rather than an imminent health threat.
