Why these products were recalled

Lack of assurance of sterility: Three lots were released where there was a failure to follow proper testing and investigation procedures. Product may be out of specification (OOS) for endotoxin.

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.
