Philips Lifeline issues pendants safety notice

Philips says that it "has received several reports of incidents where a user's pendant style neck cord became accidentally entangled, causing either injury or death." The gist of the notice is that it asks their subscribers with pendant alarms that are designed not to break away if caught up on another object to report any problems to the FDA. The safety notice from Philips has the whiff of publicity stunt about it but maybe it's just been put through the marketing department. Pendant style neck cord notice.
