Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Mirion Technologies , Inc. Captus 4000e Thyroid Uptake System, Models: 1. 5430-30151 recall: Potential for failure of the tension bolt which would allow the spring arm

Recall published last month

Potential for failure of the tension bolt which would allow the spring arm to unexpectedly fall to its lowest position, which is approximately 25 inches (63.5 cm) from the ground.

The hazard: Fall or tip-over hazard

The recall is about structural failure — a frame, joint, leg or lock that does not hold under ordinary use.

What the notice says: Potential for failure of the tension bolt which would allow the spring arm to unexpectedly fall to its lowest position, which is approximately 25 inches (63.5 cm) from the ground.

Why it matters: The product can tip, collapse or give way under normal use. Furniture tip-overs in particular kill and injure young children, usually when a child climbs on an open drawer.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

After a fall or a tip-over involving a child, watch for a headache that gets worse, repeated vomiting, drowsiness that is hard to rouse, confusion, unequal pupils, clear fluid from the nose or ear, or a seizure, and call 911 if any of these appear. Any fall onto the head in a baby under one, or any loss of consciousness at any age, needs to be assessed the same day.

What to do about Fall

Mirion Technologies , Inc. — The recall is about structural failure — a frame, joint, leg or lock that does not hold under ordinary use.

  1. Stop using the product and, if it is furniture, move it out of a child’s room until the remedy is done.
  2. Follow the remedy on this page; many of these recalls supply a free anchoring kit as well as a refund.
  3. Anchor tall furniture to the wall with a tip-over restraint — this is worth doing for every chest and bookcase in the house, not just this one.
  4. Keep TVs, toys and anything else tempting off the top of tall furniture, because that is what draws a child to climb.

How the remedy works

CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.

  • A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
  • Several recalls now ask you to destroy the item and send a photo as proof. Register the claim before you do that, never after.
  • Return shipping is the company’s cost. If you are asked to pay it, push back.
  • A repair kit is shipped free and is designed to be fitted at home; if you cannot fit it, ask whether they will arrange installation.
