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

This issue has the potential to occur only under the following, extremely rare specific conditions: 1) the user is activating Adjust Mode, AND 2) the instrument Arm is near its vertical position limit, AND 3) the user is applying sustained force against the hand control haptic feedback.
