Hamilton is recalling heater shakers that can start fires if flammable liquids get inside the device. This risk exists because the device's design allows liquids to enter and cause overheating. Affected models include various HHS2 and HHS3 types with specific part numbers.
The heater shaker can overheat if flammable liquids enter its internal components. This overheating may ignite the liquid, causing a fire. The device is designed for laboratory use with liquids, so accidental contact is possible.
