    The FDA announced two Class I recalls of Datex-Ohmeda infant radiant warmers — including the Panda Freestanding Warmer and the Giraffe and Panda Warmers with Integrated Resuscitation Systems — after finding that a blender knob shaft can loosen and cause the device to deliver an oxygen concentration that does not match the level set by the user.
