Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
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.
Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
