Why these products were recalled

Label on the outer carton or the patient labels does not match label on the inner sterile packaging

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.
