China NMPA Product Recall - treadmill

GE Healthcare Systems Trading Development (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. initiated a voluntary Class II recall for its T2100 Treadmills, as reported to the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on February 12, 2015, and published on March 11, 2015. The recall stems from an internal quality inspection revealing that the power cord of the T2100 product might not have been assembled according to specifications. This manufacturing deviation presents a potential electric shock hazard to patients or operators if the improperly assembled power cord experiences a secondary electrical fault, such as wear or contact with the mount's chassis. While no related incidents have been reported, GE Healthcare is taking proactive measures. The company is issuing customer letters to inform affected users of the issue and to guide them through a self-check procedure. Customers whose products do not pass this self-check are instructed to immediately cease using the device and contact GE Healthcare for support. Furthermore, GE Healthcare is deploying engineers to perform on-site corrections for the affected treadmills. This recall impacts 458 units sold in China, Australia/New Zealand, Europe, the USA, and other regions.
