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. The hazard involves unapproved medical claims rather than a physical defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for moderate severity involving labeling or regulatory non-compliance without reported harm.
