Why these products were recalled

Loss of the seal on the sterile Tyvek packaging used with this Cobalt Bone Cement.

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.
