United StatesMAVERICK Measurement Module Spectrometer PN 820-01367 (originally part of kit PN 820-01519; finished goods PN 820-01496) sold in the U.S. is affected. It was recalled because a disconnected or poorly crimped cable under mechanical bending stress can cause loss of electrical contact that can drive the laser output to approximately 1,600 mW at one board connection, and at a secondary board location can falsely signal a fire command and lead to unexpected laser activation during operation; safety logic prevents firing when the system is idle.

The hazard
Potential Elevated Laser Output A disconnected cable or a poorly crimped cable under mechanical bending stress can cause loss of electrical contact. At one connection on the board, the failure can drive the laser output to approximately 1,600 mW. Potential Unintended Laser Firing A disconnected, or poorly crimped cable can falsely signal a fire command during measurement cycles. At a secondary location on the board, this fault can lead to unexpected laser activation during operation. Safety logic prevents firing when the system is idle.
What to do
Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. For other products, stop using them and ask the pharmacist, seller or maker what to do.
