Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

The presence of N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), a metabolite of acetaminophen, may cause interference in certain chemistry assays when testing patient samples.

Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
