Where it was sold

  • Nationwide

Why it was recalled

If the power supply fan mounting screws are installed incorrectly, the ends of the screws may touch the power supply printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and short to ground. This may prevent the ventilator to switch to battery power if AC power is disrupted.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
