Why these products were recalled

Due to a leak in the cooling system, fluids could potentially seep into the equipment cabinet. Loss of coolant can result in a cooling system failure and subsequent system failure. This leak can occur sporadically in affected systems.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
