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: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard described is theoretical in nature. This meets the criterion for Moderate severity: a product with risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported, scored at most as 2 per the rubric.
