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 FDA classified this as Class II. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is manufacturing non-compliance without evidence of resulting harm. This matches FDA Class II without reported adverse events, which typically rates 2 (Moderate).
