Severity 2 of 5
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Severity 2 (Moderate) recalls cover minor labeling errors, low-risk contamination, and voluntary precautionary recalls. The agency's own classification is typically FDA Class III, or the issue is something like incomplete instructions or a small UPC mismatch where the product itself is safe but doesn't meet documentation requirements. Use the same brand-name product safely; follow the manufacturer's instructions for return or exchange if you want a refund.
The full rubric is on the methodology page. Severity is computed deterministically from the agency’s own classification plus the source text — no editorial vibes.
