The improperly sized opening may allow the exposed metal tip of the boom to contact an electrically energized conductor, such as an overhead wire, increasing the risk of a injury to the boom operator.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
