Newport Laser Systems Recalled for Removable Safety Key Defect
Newport has recalled Class II laser systems because their key-actuated safety switch can be removed while the laser remains on, violating federal safety requirements.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II recall of a laser safety mechanism with no reported injuries or illnesses. The risk is concrete—the key-actuated master control failure allows laser operation when the key is removed—but actual harm has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Newport Corp is recalling N-LHP-928(j) laser head and power supply units, and N5-LPL-944-080 and N6-LPL-944-080 power supplies. A total of 19 affected units have been distributed in the United States.
The laser systems are designed with a key-actuated master control that must be removed to prevent laser operation. However, in the recalled units, the key can be removed from the key switch while the laser remains operational. This violates federal safety requirements under 21 CFR 1040.10(f)(4), creating a safety hazard.
Users who have purchased these products should discontinue use and contact Newport Corp for instructions on return or correction. The specific affected serial numbers are identified in the official FDA recall notice.
