Plain-English summary
Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling two units of the Allura Xper FD OR Table, Ceiling version only (model 722035). The recall is due to a defect where the C-arc may continue moving after it is initially stopped.
The issue occurs because of improper adjustment and tolerances. When the C-arc is stopped in an unbalanced position, the air gap of the electromagnetic brake can become too large, preventing a full stop and causing the C-arc to keep moving as it looks for a balanced position.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the US states of Tennessee and Indiana, and in Australia, Belgium, Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia. Users should contact the manufacturer for correction and removal of the affected units.
