Why it was recalled

Firm received customer complaints where end users reported that Nomad Pro and Pro 2 handsets had appeared to "overheat", "melt", "smoke" and/or "ignite." Investigation found that the internal lithium ion batteries had entered into a thermal runaway condition as a result of a short circuit on the battery pack PCB.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
