Separate sourced root-cause wording from missing evidence.
This laboratory joins device enforcement products to public FDA device-enrichment records through
documented exact identifiers. It preserves official wording and never turns an absent or conflicting join into a conclusion.
Four explicit evidence outcomes
What each state means
Global device-product counts
Sourced 32,075 products
At least one exact joined official device-enrichment row contains root-cause wording. The wording is preserved as an official fact, not an app conclusion.
? Unknown 7,441 products
An exact joined enrichment record exists, but none supplies supported root-cause wording. This does not mean FDA reported that the cause is unknown.
Unavailable 3 products
No public enrichment row could be joined through the supported exact identifiers, or the enrichment source itself was unavailable. This is not evidence of no root cause.
Ambiguous 0 products
Official identifier candidates conflict. Recall Observatory preserves the conflict and does not select a candidate or synthesize root-cause wording.

Enforcement bounds use FDA report dates; device-enrichment bounds use FDA event_date_initiated. A product's recall-initiation date can precede enforcement report-date coverage.
Counts use distinct recalled products and exact recall events. Wording is grouped only by byte-for-byte database equality;
similar phrases are not normalized, merged, ranked, or interpreted as equivalent causes.
