Where it was sold
Why it was recalled
3M discovered a valve with incorrectly labeled "input" and "output" orientation. This defect can result in the valve being installed backwards, creating a remote possibility of valve failure. A failure may result in EO being vented outside the sealed chamber during a limited period in the EO injection phase of the cycle.
This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
