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 software compliance issue regarding visual indications without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or specific safety hazards like fire or shock.
