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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling discrepancy on a medical device. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. Labeling errors that could be corrected with verification fall into the Moderate category.
