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

Reason for recall

Inspection confirmed a small percentage of sterile packages with inadequate package seal (partial heat seal). Patients may develop infections if non-sterile equipment is 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.
