Energetiq recalls 15 EQ-400-RH-QZ and EQ-400-LH-BK broadband light products due to unsafe laser collimator removal risk. Affected units made between June 2016 and September 2019.
On September 27, 2019 Energetiq Technology (the manufacturer) discovered a problem with their EQ-400-RH-QZ and EQ-400-LH-BK products during routine manufacturing functional testing. It was noted that a safety interlock within the lamp does not function in a reliable manner to shut down the system if the laser collimator is removed from the lamp while the system is operating. This is a potential safety hazard for anyone working on or nearby the lamp.
Energetiq is recalling 15 specific models of broadband light products because a safety feature that shuts down the system when the laser collimator is removed doesn't work reliably. This could expose people to unsafe light exposure if the device is operated without proper safety checks.
