Linear is recalling approximately 48,000 Personal Emergency Reporting System (PERS) transmitters, models DXS-LRC, DXS-LRC-LA, DXS-LRP, and DXS-LRW. These devices, used to summon help in emergencies, can have corroded battery clips that cause them to stop working or operate intermittently without any warning to the user. Linear has received one report of a transmitter failing to operate, though no injuries have been reported. These transmitters were sold by independent distributors and dealers nationwide from June 2013 through August 2013, and the company is providing free replacements to all affected customers.
The internal battery clips can corrode, causing the emergency transmitter to fail silently. In an emergency, a user may press the button and be unable to summon help because the device is not sending a signal.
Consumers should immediately contact Linear to receive a free replacement transmitter.
