✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Rebiscan is recalling Blinq Pediatric Vision Scanners that have battery packs which may vent and catch fire if they can't charge properly. This could happen if the battery cells drop below 2.5 volts, which might occur during normal use.

How to tell if you have this one

Check the serial numbers on the device: B-00001-V to B-00113. The model number is BQ830 with UDI 008648160004.
