Why these products were recalled

Due to a software defect that can intermittently cause the system to lock-up which exiting Review Mode while performing an exam.

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.
