During preflight, what does a pink humidity indicator mean for PBE?

Explanation:
Humidity indicators inside PBE packs change color with moisture exposure. A pink color means humidity has been detected, indicating the PBE may be compromised and is not serviceable. Because of that, you must notify the Cabin Attendant in charge so the unit can be replaced and the flight can proceed with a serviceable PBE. The pink color is not just a blue indicator, nor a statement that the PBE is sealed, and it does carry a meaningful warning about moisture exposure.
