Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a labeling error regarding size, which is a significant quality issue but does not involve a structural defect or reported injuries in the source text.
