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, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or specific safety hazards, only a failure to meet Quality System requirements. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving voluntary or precautionary recalls without reported harm.
