Personal Emergency Reporting System Recall: Battery Problems December 10, 2013 Russell Maas Add Your CommentsFollowing a report of a failed call for assistance, about 48,000 personal emergency assistance transmitters were recalled yesterday due to battery problems that could cause a delay in emergency response in life threatening situations. The Linear Personal Emergency Reporting System (PERS) Transmitters recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on December 9, following a report that indicated the transmitter failed to signal for help due to corrosion of the battery clips in the transmitters.The PERS transmitters are designed to allow users to press a button on the transmitter for emergency assistance. According to the CPSC, when the battery clip fails, the systems do not provide warning that a signal has not been sent. While there has been at least one known incident where the unit failed to operate properly, no injuries have been associated with the defective PERS transmitters.Do You Know about…Spinal Cord Stimulator lawsuitsSpinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being investigated for individuals who suffered unnecessary shocks, burns or other problems, often resulting in the need for additional surgery to remove the SCS.Learn MoreSEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATIONDo You Know About…Spinal Cord Stimulator lawsuitsSpinal cord stimulator lawsuits are being investigated for individuals who suffered unnecessary shocks, burns or other problems, often resulting in the need for additional surgery to remove the SCS.Learn MoreSEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATIONThe affected products have model numbers DXS-LRC, DXS-LRC-LA, DXS-LRP and DXS-LRW and manufactured dates from June 2013 to July 2013 with date codes 1306, 1329, and 1307 representing the year and week of year.
