Drive DeVilbiss initiates recall on car adapter 

WASHINGTON – Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare is recalling the iGo2 DV6X-619 DC car adapter, a non-critical accessory to the iGo2 Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC), due to complaints of the DC power cord being hot to the touch and/or melting while being used, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The iGo2 POC is a DC-powered, variable motor/compressor speed oxygen concentrator that can be operated from an AC, DC or battery power source. Use of the affected product may cause serious adverse health consequences, including thermal injuries and/or burns to the fingers and/or hands, the FDA says. There have been two reported injuries; there have been no reports of death, it says. Go here for an outline on what to do in response to the recall.
