    THE MANUFACTURER BECAME AWARE OF AN ALLEGATION THAT A USER OF THE AMARA VIEW FULL FACE MASK WITH HEADGEAR MAGNETS WAS EXPERIENCING PAIN IN HIS NECK WHERE HIS METALLIC DISC AND JOINT IMPLANT IS LOCATED. AFTER RECEIVING THE SAFETY NOTICE 2022-CC-SRC-001, THE USER STOPPED USING THIS MASK WITH HEADGEAR AND THE PAIN DISAPPEARED. THE USER WAS THEN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AND HIS DOCTOR DOES NOT EXCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY THAT BOTH THE PAIN AND CANCER DIAGNOSIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE USE OF THE MASK. THE MANUFACTURER HAS REQUESTED THE MASK TO BE RETURNED FOR INVESTIGATION. TO DATE, NO MASK HAS BEEN RETURNED. THE INVESTIGATION IS ON-GOING. A FOLLOW UP FINAL WILL BE SUBMITTED WHEN THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE.
