PRODUCTION SAMPLES WERE DROPPED THREE TO FIVE TIMES FROM A HEIGHT OF 1.0 M AND THE HOUSINGS SHOWED DAMAGE AND CRACKING (ONLY AFTER AT LEAST THREE DROPS). THIS PRODUCT WAS RELEASED AS A RESULT OF CAPA (B)(4) WHICH WAS INITIATED FOR PUMP IN STYLE TRANSFORMER OVERHEATING/MELTING ISSUES FOR WHICH A FIELD ACTION SAFETY NOTIFICATION WAS INITIATED ON 04/04/2011. COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS PRODUCT ARE CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED (B)(4) IN ORDER TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT BE RECEIVED, RESULTING IN NEW, CHANGED, OR CORRECTED INFORMATION, A FOLLOW UP REPORT WILL BE FILED AT THAT TIME.
