Saudi Arabia Orders Recall of Magnetic Phone Holders for Cars
In a bold move, the Ministry of Commerce in Saudi Arabia has taken action to recall a staggering 13,763 magnetic phone holders for cars. The reason? Serious concerns over their potential impact on airbag deployment.
According to a statement released on Friday, the ministry raised alarm over the danger these phone holders pose. Designed to be mounted at the center of the steering wheel, they have the potential to interfere with the proper function of vehicle airbags.
If an airbag were to deploy, these phone holders could become dangerous projectiles, hurtling towards passengers and potentially causing serious injury or even death. The ministry did not mince words when warning consumers of the risks involved.
The recall affects multiple models of magnetic phone holders that were sold by various retailers in Saudi Arabia. Consumers who have purchased these products are strongly advised to cease use immediately and seek guidance on how to return them for refunds.
Assuring the public of their commitment to safety, the ministry stated that they are closely monitoring the situation and collaborating with manufacturers to ensure that all recalled units are swiftly removed from the market.
