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

Reason for recall

Two lots of product were released for distribution prior to the completion of all required validation and lot acceptance activities. Although sterile, products from these lots may not function as intended and therefore should not be used.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
