Reasons the product is recalled

A manufacturing defect has resulted in the through holes on the Power Circuit Board becoming compromised and “open” over time due to a lack of proper thickness in the copper insulation in the walls of the through holes.

The hazards to consumers

Due to this lack of thickness in the copper walls, current will increase on the Power Circuit Board possibly creating an abnormal hot spot, which could lead to overheating or smoking, presenting a potential fire hazard.

What consumers should do

Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for inspection, and to receive a replacement or refund if affected.
