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. The hazard is a functional failure resulting in a lack of measurement rather than a direct physical injury or acute health risk, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a risk-of-harm product where injury has not been reported.
