Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II recall with no reported hospitalizations, illnesses, injuries, or incidents. The hazard is described solely as a naphthalene odor without articulation of the specific risk to patients or product function, making this a quality or manufacturing issue rather than an acute safety threat.
