Why these products were recalled

Failed Stability Specification: out of specification result obtained for the Particle Size Distribution test during stability testing.

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.
