Why these products were recalled

Potential for certain GRIPPER Needles to contain an occluded or blocked needle.

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.
