Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The hazard
As part of our post market surveillance, we recognized that some customers are using flammable freezing sprays within the cryostat chamber. All flammable freezing sprays can potentially ignite and therefore can cause serious injuries. The flammability is indicated on the labelling of these sprays. The cryostat labelling, however, did not include any specific warning about usage of flammable freezing sprays prior to 2019.
