Why these products were recalled

There is a potential for packaging integrity issues impacting the humidity or sterility barrier of specific production lots.

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.
