Why it was recalled
Hazardous voltage could reach a conductive part of the foot pedal if wires inside the foot pedal become detached from the potentiometer (small grey or blue plastic device), or corroded as a result of moisture, and then touch a metal rod at the top of the pedal. Wires can also twist and potentially break if the nut at the back of the pedal becomes loose.
Hazard
Risk of electric shock.
