Plain-English summary

DeRoyal Industries, Inc. is recalling 25 units of the DeRoyal Aquarius Hot/Cold Therapy Combo Unit with Foot/Ankle Blanket NS (REF T656NS). The affected units were distributed nationwide. The specific lot numbers involved are 32901129, 32980912, 33015541, 33024746, and 33105239.

The recall is due to a defect where the unit displays an error code for hose kinking even when no kink is present.
