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

Reason for recall

This recall has been reported retroactively. The power wheelchair firmware lacks a speed restriction to maintain stability when the seat lift exceeds 50 mm, which may cause the user to fall from the wheelchair or the wheelchair to tip over,

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.
