- Action
- Omron sent recall letters dated 10/21/05 to all of their direct accounts, informing them that the probe tip could overheat and possibly burn the person whose temperature is being taken. The accounts were instructed to check the lot number on their thermometers immediately to see if they fall within the range of affected thermometers (lots beginning with 01-32, 01-36, 01-37 and 01-38). The accounts were instructed to call Omron at 1-800-634-4350 if their unit is affected to get instructions on how to return the unit to Omron for a refund. Omron issued a press release on 10/24/05 to alert consumers who may have purchased the thermometer at a retail pharmacy, and has posted both the press release and the recall letter on their website at www.omronhealthcare.com.
