Why it was recalled

Recent improvements were made to the Advisor case plastic resulting in the inserts being deeply embedded into the plastic. This affects the ability of the monitor to be adequately secured on the wall mount bracket or roll stand bracket, resulting in the monitor falling off. There have been no adverse events or injuries reported.
