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

Reason for recall

Hospira has become aware of customers using the incorrect size Receptal liners with their Receptal canisters, e.g., 1.5 L liner, 2L liner or 3L liner with a 1L canister. It is possible that if an incorrectly sized liner is used with a different size canister the lid may not fit and the vacuum/suction will not be sufficient and/or consistent.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
