Why these products were recalled

There is the potential for various failures with the LOR (loss of resistance) syringes included in the kits resulting in dural puncture with some also requiring a blood patch.

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.
