Why these products were recalled

The Distal Attachment contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), which exceeds the permissible exposure level calculated according to ISO 10993-17: 2002

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.
