Visonic Amber Pendants and Visonic Amber Kits
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Visonic is recalling Amber Personal Emergency Response Pendants and Kits because the pendant battery can drain faster than normal, reducing battery life and shortening the "low battery" warning period from 30 days to as little as nine days. The recalled products include standalone pendants (model MCT-212 GS LA S (315) ENR) and kits containing a pendant and base station (model GS LA (315) KIT2). The off-white pendant with a red oval button measures approximately 1½ by 1½ by ⅝ inches, and specific serial number ranges are affected depending on whether the pendant was sold separately or as part of a kit.
According to the recall, consumers who own affected pendants should immediately contact Visonic or their alarm service provider for replacement instructions. Until a replacement is received, consumers should manually test their pendant regularly to check for low battery status.
