Why these products were recalled

Products may have been distributed to customers other than laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments as stipulated in the Emergency Use Authorization.

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.
