PERS TRANSMITTERS 

Linear is recalling Personal Emergency Reporting System (PERS) Transmitters sold nationwide from June 2008 to July 2011. The batteries used in the transmitters can fail to emit a low battery warning leading the user to believe the transmitter is functioning and not generate a warning. 

The recall includes model numbers DXS-62A (black wristband and a gray pendant), DXS-62A1 (ivory plastic belt clip pendant) and DXS-64 (gray plastic pendant with a green circle in the center) which all have batteries that are sealed into the products.

GOALIE COLLARS 

Reebok-CCM is recalling Reebok TCPRE Senior and Junior Goalie Throat Collars sold nationwide and in Canada from April 2012 to May 2014. Throat collars have been decertified by BNQ in Canada due to the risk that a skate blade could penetrate the collar, posing a laceration hazard to the throat. 

They have the BNQ certification mark screen printed and the words "Ballistic Nylon Ballistique", "TCPRE SR or JR" and sizing information on the right side of the collar base. Affected products have the model number K101SR TCPRE or K101JR TCPRE located on the label sewn on the inside of each throat collar pad.
