Why it was recalled

There is a potential for the product to activate without manual input when plugged into a power source or remain active after buttons are released. Unintentional activation of the device may result in localized burns to the patient or physician from electrical currents carried through conductive objects or fluids. Medical/surgical intervention may be needed to correct these injuries

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
