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.

What this means for you

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.
