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 describes a labeling error without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.
