Why these products were recalled

Ultrasound gels and lotions manufactured by Eco-Med Pharmaceutical, Inc. may contain bacterial contamination. On August 18, 2021, FDA published a Letter to Health Care Providers to further address this issue: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/letters-health-care-providers/stop-using-all-eco-med-ultrasound-gels-and-lotions-due-risk-bacterial-contamination-letter-health

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.
