Why it was recalled

The firm has become aware that there is a likelihood that a missing snap ring or spanner nut may result in an insufficient mount force that causes the surgical light to fall. If the suspension of the surgical light falls, it may potentially cause serious injuries to Health Care Providers and/or patients.

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