Why it was recalled

Due to a leak in the detector cooling system, cooling liquid may leak outside the drip tray of the chiller. If this occurs the liquid may drip onto electrical components in the R cabinet located in the technical room, which could lead to damage to the system and potentially cause thermal events such as a burning odor, smoke or fire.

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