Why these products were recalled

The lids on implant caddies within P/N 17-5000 and 19-5000 could not be opened by the user without application of undesirable/unexpected excessive force.

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.
