Philips Respironics is recalling 56 SimplyGo Mini Standard Battery Kits used with the SimplyGo Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator. A defective chip in these batteries can cause them to either fail to charge or suddenly lose power while the device is being used. If the battery fails, the device will shut down and stop providing oxygen to the user without warning.
The defective battery can cause the oxygen concentrator to stop functioning, cutting off the user's supplemental oxygen supply. This pose a serious risk of oxygen deprivation, especially if the user is reliant on the device for respiration and is unable to switch to a backup source quickly.
You have 2 options:
Affected battery kits are sold as accessories for the SimplyGo Mini Portable Oxygen Concentrator.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
