Linear LLC of Carlsbad, CA has issued a voluntary recall for about 48,000 of the company’s personal emergency reporting system (PERS) transmitters manufactured in China.
According to the company, the battery clips in the transmitters can corrode, causing the transmitters to operate intermittently or not at all, thereby failing to generate a warning when appropriate. Linear says that it has received one report of a transmitter that failed to operate, but has not received any reports of injuries.
The recalled transmitters were sold through independent PERS distributors and dealers nationwide from June through August 2013 for about $45.
