Why these products were recalled

Various trauma and extremity instruments (drill bits and screw taps) were manufactured from raw material with an anomaly. The anomaly may be on or below the surface and can increase the risk of instrument fracture.

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.
