Rygel Advanced Machines (doing business as Omtech Laser) is recalling 641 units of the OMTech Desktop Laser Engraver, specifically models DF0812-40BG and USB-032B-U1. The recall was mandated by the FDA because these machines lack required redundant safety interlocks and are missing critical safety and certification labels. Without these safeguards, the machines do not meet federal laser product performance standards, which are designed to prevent accidental laser exposure.
The lack of redundant safety interlocks means the laser could remain active even when the machine is open or improperly configured, posing a serious risk of eye injuries or skin burns from invisible laser radiation. Additionally, the absence of required warning labels means users may not be aware of the specific laser hazards present during operation.
