Why these products were recalled

Cross contamination with other products: Belladonna Alkaloids with Phenobarbital Tablets contained a trace amount of Methocarbamol.

Presence of Foreign Substance: Belladonna Alkaloids with Phenobarbital Tablets with black specks comprised of degraded organic material on tablets.

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.
