Why these products were recalled

Complaints were received of gowns pilling or balling, linting and abrades, blood strikethrough and fibers falling off the gowns.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
