Why these products were recalled

There is a potential for the linear bearing car to fail allowing the ball bearings to fall out.

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.
