Why these products were recalled

Alcon has detected an increase in complaint reports related to sharpness for specific ClearCut Dual Bevel Sideport and A-OK Comeal/Scleral V-Lance Ophthalmic knives.

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.
