Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Compression bandage may be degraded, which may cause unwanted foreign material to be introduced inside the wound, which may lead to wound exploration and irrigation, formation of scar tissue, and infection.
Foreign material recalls cover pieces of metal, plastic, glass, wood or other objects that got into the product during processing and could cause injury if eaten.
