Motorola Laser Utility Products Recalled for Incorrect Laser Power Settings
Motorola Inc is recalling PCS3000/CS3070 laser utility products because they were manufactured with Class 2 laser power settings instead of the specified Class 1 levels.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a laser safety classification discrepancy (Class 2 power in a Class 1 labeled device), which is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.
Plain-English summary
Motorola Inc is recalling approximately 16,961 units of the PCS3000/CS3070 Laser Utility/Peripheral Laser Products. The recall was initiated because it was discovered that the devices were manufactured using laser power settings for a Class 2 laser device, rather than the Class 1 power levels specified on the product label.
These products were distributed nationwide. The discrepancy between the actual laser power settings and the labeled specifications presents a potential safety hazard, as Class 2 lasers have different safety profiles and exposure limits compared to Class 1 lasers.
Consumers who possess these specific laser utility products should stop using them immediately and contact Motorola Inc for further instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
