The reason for the recall is due to the degradation of the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in the devices may result in increased health risks. The foam may degrade into particles that are then ingested or inhaled by the user. The foam may also off-gas certain chemicals that are hazardous to the user.
