The WHD/WHV impactors can rust over time due to an improper manufacturing process.
The spring on the PEG-Extender can rust due to the type of steel used to manufacture it.
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.
