Why these products were recalled

The firm received complaints for failure of the handle to remain assembled to the rasp during use due to various failure modes, including fracture of the leaf spring.

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.
