Why these products were recalled

There were complaints indicating that when the product was opened in surgery, the sterile packaging was already open.

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.
