Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

There is a potential for AED pads to experience gel separation from the foam/tin backing when peeled from the plastic liner. The gel may fold onto itself resulting in reduced surface area or gel on the pad, or it may separate almost completely leaving only a small amount of gel on the pad.
