The hazard comes from customers not being informed about prior recalls for other defibrillator models. This means some users might have already had safety issues without knowing, but the current recall doesn't indicate immediate danger.
Home defibrillator users who own the Philips HeartStart HS1 model M5068A are affected. People who have previously received recall notices for other HeartStart models may be at higher risk.
