Why these products were recalled

Mislabeled: Incorrect sleeve in the packaging. The outer packaging is labeled as a standard neck sleeve, however, the product within the box is a -6mm neck sleeve, and vice versa. The neck of the sleeve can be identified by the device etching as either STD or -6

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.
