What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I recalls carry a minimum severity of Severe (4). The hazard—capacitor electrolyte leakage causing electrical short circuits and potential ventilation interruption—poses a direct risk to ventilator-dependent patients, though no illnesses are reported in the source.
