Why these products were recalled

An issue with the Detector for the Forte Family of cameras may result in either detector 1 or detector 2 falling unimpeded vertically to the end stops of its travel limit.

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.
