Firm Action

A "URGENT: POWER CORD RECALL" letter and copies of the FDA Alert dated Oct. 19, 2009 were sent to all customers on or about Jan. 15, 2010, by Stericycle, a recall notification service. The letter describes the product, problem and actions to be taken by the customers as well as FDA's recommendations and actions. The customers were made aware of the FDA Alert concerning the AC power cords and notified that these power cords were used in the devices. They were requested to inspect the power cords for damage and notify the recalling firm if damage is noted or if they have experienced sparking, charring, or firing from the power cords and/or cracking or failure of the prongs. In the absence of those conditions, customers were given the option of returning the power cord for replacement and/or during the regularly scheduled servicing of the device.
