What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The hazard is a packaging/labeling discrepancy (missing lidocaine) rather than a direct contamination or structural failure causing immediate severe injury.
