About 175,000 Linear Personal Emergency Reporting System (PERS) transmitters are being recalled because the internal batteries can fail without sending a low-battery warning. This defect can lead users to believe their emergency button is working when it is actually inactive, preventing them from summoning help during an emergency. The recall affects models DXS-62A, DXS-62A1, and DXS-64, which were sold nationwide through independent distributors and dealers between June 2008 and July 2011. Linear has received one report of a transmitter failing to operate, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should contact Linear immediately for a free replacement.
The device's battery may fail to emit a low battery signal to the base station, meaning the user will not be alerted when the transmitter is dead. If the battery dies silently, the device will not function during a medical or personal emergency, potentially delaying life-saving assistance.
Consumers should immediately contact Linear to receive a new replacement transmitter at no cost.
