Manufacturer Narrative

The manufactures internal number is (b)(4).Additional investigation product report findings: based on similar complaints in the past, user error is assumed.Based on the damage shown above, the breakage of the ceramic beak may have been caused by pulling the inner shaft out of the outer shaft at an angle.When the inner shaft is pulled out of the outer shaft at an angle this presses the ceramic against the outer shaft and can cause it to break.In addition, the ifu points out that the ceramic beak should be checked for damage before use.
