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 identifies the hazard as a potential labeling error without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or specific structural defects. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving minor labeling errors or precautionary measures.
