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, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score. The issue is a labeling error regarding interference levels, which is a documentation issue rather than a direct physical hazard or confirmed injury.
