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 FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or adverse events; the defect is a manufacturing error in the adhesive component detected before widespread use. This matches the rubric criterion for moderate-severity recalls involving manufacturing defects without reported harm.
