Why these products were recalled

Gamma sterilization validation testing indicates the sterilization dose for the product may not be adequate.

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.
