Nihon Kohden Telemetry Recalled for Incorrect Date Stamp or No Data Transfer

Nihon Kohden America Inc is recalling WMTS Telemetry Receivers because they may display incorrect date stamps or fail to transfer data.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths. The hazard involves data integrity issues (incorrect date stamps or no data transfer) rather than direct physical harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
