Reason for recall

There is a risk of circuit board breakage within the main housing of the AC Adapter unit. Smoke may be emitted from the AC Adapter as a direct result.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
