Motor assemblies manufactured with nonconforming plastic that contributes to off-gassing of VOCs.

This poses a risk of harmful chemical exposure, especially for patients using the device nightly. Affected units have specific model and serial numbers listed in the recall.
The motor assemblies in some units contain nonconforming plastic that can off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While VOCs are generally low-risk in normal use, prolonged exposure to high levels could cause health issues, particularly for patients using the device nightly.
