Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or deaths, and the hazard is a software error (incorrect PEC values) rather than a direct physical defect causing immediate harm.
