Just how they would cope with an en-route diversion where large numbers of passengers were not expecting to be quizzed about their tablets is anyones guess.
I think there's been some misunderstanding about what that page represents. It looks more to me like a list of medical products which have been recalled by the manufacturer or regulator. Note that the action recommended for each is "pull the product" which sounds to me more like retail sales regulation something applicable personal possession. Note also that on of the "unauthorized medications" is the "DePuy Sigma HP FB Tibial Tray Impactor" which is you look it up, you find that it's a set of surgical instruments for reconstructive knee surgery, which ... wait for it ... have been recalled by the US FDA
