Reason for Recall

Radiation emissions which exceeded the limit in the performance standard were detected during maintenance of one system. The identified cause was insufficient attachment of shielding in the door. Jostling during delivery was identified as the probable cause of this failure to comply with the performance standard.

Firm Action

GE plans to notify its customers with the systems through a TIL. The TIL will inform customers that GE will add lead strips to the inside window frame under the lead glass window of the main cabinet door.
