Why these products were recalled

A caution statement is being added to remind the user to activate away from face and infant as reports of pack rupture or leaking during activation may resulting in the contents splashing into the user s eyes or onto the infant. Potential harms associated with contact of the liquid inside the pouch are rash, burn and inflammation.

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.
