Reason for recall

There was an error in inspection and programming of the eTRAX needle sensor for Aurora trackers. The result is a potential for the needle tip position to be incorrectly identified on the user interface.

The USDA issues these when meat or poultry was produced without proper inspection, or when a step such as cooking or pasteurisation did not meet requirements.
