Why these products were recalled

Due to an increase in complaints for pitch cable failures related to forceps and small Graptor instruments

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.
