FDA (Devices) recall action 82607
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 3 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 3 pages.
A design change to the load-bearing quick release buckle renders the springs in the latch mechanism susceptible to fatigue failure after repeated use.

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.
