Why these products were recalled

There may be missing notches, partial notches or no notches at all in some Cutting Accessories that are used with the Elite" Attachments.

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.
