Mar Cor Purification Recalls Central Water Platform Reverse Osmosis Systems

Mar Cor Purification is recalling 197 Central Water Platform (CWP) reverse osmosis systems because a specific lot of water inlet solenoid valves may fail, stopping water production.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall. The hazard is a functional failure (cessation of water production) rather than a direct injury or contamination, and no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Mar Cor Purification is recalling 197 units of its Central Water Platform (CWP) reverse osmosis systems, models 102, 104, and 106. These systems are intended to produce water for the dialysis of multiple patients. The recall was initiated due to a potential issue with a specific lot of water inlet solenoid valves.

The hazard is that the water inlet solenoid valve could cease to function. If this occurs, the CWP will stop producing reverse osmosis water. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths associated with this defect.

The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States, including in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
