The internal chest compression mechanism in these CPR training mannequins can fail catastrophically during use, causing the chest piece to suddenly snap back or break apart. This can result in serious hand, wrist, or arm injuries to the person performing CPR training. The failure appears to be related to a manufacturing defect in the internal spring mechanism that was not detected during quality testing.

The sterile gauze pads in these first aid kits have been found to be contaminated with bacteria during the manufacturing process. Using these contaminated gauze pads on open wounds could lead to serious bacterial infections, sepsis, or other life-threatening complications. The contamination was discovered during routine quality testing, and several cases of wound infections have been reported by healthcare facilities.
