FOLO-UP Product Recall: 2303-0087 Dräger RD 40 Combination respiratory protection filters
Dräger particle filters that are also used in combination respiratory protection filters.
Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The product has been recalled as it was discovered that a small number of Dräger particle filters that are also used in their combination respiratory protection filters do not fully achieve the required particle filtration efficiency. The reduced filtration performance of the respiratory protection filters can result in more particles than usual being inhaled. As the user will not notice any change in particle filtration efficiency, increased inhalation of particles is possible. This can lead to irritation of the airways, and in the longer term to respiratory diseases.
