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 is a labeling error where the device is larger than indicated, which is a significant risk but does not meet the criteria for Class I (death/serious injury) or Class III (unlikely to cause adverse health consequences).
