Reason the product is recalled
Certain pumps are missing solder on specific contacts on the Harness Assembly. If the wires make an electrical contact with the Printed Circuit Board Assembly, the lack of solder could result in increased resistance at the connection point, causing early battery depletion.
All necessary battery-related alerts/alarms will still occur to inform the user about the AA battery status.
