Why these products were recalled

Balloon may not inflate as intended. If the balloon does not inflate during laparoscopic ventral hernia repair this may result in a delay or prolongation of the procedure, inadequate mesh placement, erosion/migration, pain and mesh infection

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.
