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

Reason for recall

Devices may not be rendered sterile due to an internal gap that may be present on some devices causing increased difficulty cleaning prior to steam sterilization. There is an increased risk for infection, inflammation, local toxicity, systemic toxicity, sensitivity, and cross-contamination.

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.
