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 safety feature failure (warning lights) on a device that emits X-rays, creating a risk of harm without reported injuries, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products.
Plain-English summary
Olympus Scientific Solutions Americas Corporation is recalling Vanta XRF Analyzers, specifically models Vanta VCR and Vanta VMR. The recall involves 74 units distributed across 22 U.S. states, including Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and California.
The recall was initiated because it was discovered that under rare circumstances, the LED warning light circuit could fail. If this failure occurs, the LED warning lights will not illuminate while the instrument is emitting X-rays during a test. The test itself runs normally and executes as usual, but the visual warning light remains off.
Consumers who possess these specific models should stop using the devices and contact Olympus Scientific Solutions Americas for further instructions.
