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

Reason for recall

Wrong positioning of the coil cables can create unintended resonances via the patient or elevated coil cable temperature due to coupling to the QBC. The combined use of the Sense coil, high SAR level scanning and placement of the cables contrary to instructions for use can lead to patient burns.

Foods that need refrigeration and were stored or shipped too warm can grow harmful bacteria without any change in look or smell.
