Nielsen-Kellerman is recalling approximately 7,500 NK R2 microphones used by rowing boat navigators (coxswains). These microphones, manufactured before September 1, 2012, have a metal boom that can conduct electricity from speaker wires or connectors directly to the user's face. Nielsen-Kellerman has received three reports of users suffering second-degree burns where the metal boom touched their skin. Consumers should immediately stop using these microphones and return them to the manufacturer for a free replacement.
The exposed metal microphone boom can act as a conductor for electricity if it comes into contact with live speaker wires or connectors, causing electric shocks or burns to the user's face during use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the R2 Microphones and return them to NK for a free replacement.
The recalled NK R2 microphone is used with an NK Cox Box 08 or an NK Cox Box Mini
