Why it was recalled
In some battery packs, the two charging connections may have been reversed. (Note, however, that further assessment of test reports has revealed that the incident prompting the recall was an isolated case suspected to have occurred because the customer re-positioned the batteries in the unit.)
Hazard
If the unit short circuits, there is a high possibility that it will catch fire. (Note, however, that an audit of affected stock has revealed that the suspected fault seems to have occurred because the customer re-positioned the batteries in the unit.)
