Why these products were recalled

Failed Impurity/Degradation Specification; an impurity identified as N-Butyl-Benzene Sulfonamide (NBBS) was detected during impurity testing

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.
