The complaints database was reviewed and there have been an atypical volume of dull blades complaints for various lots. out of an abundance of precaution, Bausch + Lomb is voluntarily recalling all product codes SKU manufacturing without the electro-polish control and penetration force 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.
