The FDA has labeled the recall as Class II, meaning that consumption of the contaminated product may cause "temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote," according to the agency's website.
The report also failed to provide instructions for consumers who have purchased the affected containers, though the company's website encourages customers with questions, comments or concerns to fill out the form.
