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, and the hazard is a labeling error (incorrect diopter power) rather than a structural defect or contamination. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling error.
