Why these products were recalled

Quanta System S.p.A, Italy, is notifying U.S. consignees that their website contained promotional materials for products distributed in the U.S. which did not specify that some of the claims made therein were not meant to apply to the U.S. distributed devices.

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.
