What was recalled

This recall involves FreeSpace DS40F in-ceiling/flush-mount loudspeakers manufactured before August 13, 2018, and all FreeSpace and EdgeMax in-ceiling/flush-mount loudspeakers installed in commercial cooking environments. The loudspeakers were sold in black and white colors with "Bose" engraved on the front of them. Model numbers and the date of manufacturing can be found on the label on the back of the loudspeaker.
