Pentax 9310HD Digital Video Capture Modules Recalled for Missing Transformers
Pentax of America is recalling 241 units of 9310HD Digital Video Capture Modules because they were not always provided with required 9175 isolation transformers.
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 illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a missing component (isolation transformer) which is a safety compliance issue rather than a direct biological or acute physical hazard with reported harm.
