Burlington Medical recalls Thyroid Collar Oversize models with product number TS3 due to potential inadequate radiation protection, increasing cancer and infertility risks from scatter radiation exposure during medical procedures.
The protective material used in the manufacture of the products could potentially provide inadequate protection for the product user.
