Giraffe Shuttle
Reason
When the Giraffe Shuttle is being charged the batteries could potentially emit low concentrations of gases (outgassing) producing a strong sulfur odor. The outgassing stops when the shuttle is unplugged from the wall socket. Inhalation of these gases in rare cases could cause bronchoconstriction potentially requiring medication in susceptible individuals such as asthmatic users. This issue could also cause minor headaches, irritation of the eyes and throat. There have been no serious injuries reported as a result of this issue
