Why these products were recalled

The peel strength of the inner blister may have been below internal validated requirements. The strength of the seal is directly related to long term shelf life of the sterile barrier.

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.
