Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 Class II (Low risk) by the agency, and the source explicitly states there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score involving low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures.
