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 hazard is a functional failure (inability to perform X-rays) rather than a direct safety risk like radiation exposure or electrical shock, and no injuries are reported.
