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 voluntary correction with no reported illnesses or injuries; the hazard involves potential for backflow and occlusion during use, which are equipment-use risks. No injuries or hospitalizations are documented in the source text.
