Why these products were recalled

due to complaints received for 3mm to 4mm section wire exposed/protruding from the outside of the cannula body.

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.
