H10: h3, h6: the reported device was received for evaluation.A visual inspection of the returned device noted crushed cord and corroded housing.A functional evaluation revealed that the oscillate function of the shaver becomes active when the connector is plugged into the control unit.A review of device records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.A complaint history review found similar reported events.A risk management review found that the reported failure and/or harm was documented appropriately, and there were no indications to suggest the anticipated risk is not adequate.The root cause has been associated with failure to follow instructions.Factors that could have contributed to the event include a buildup of corrosion/debris from cleaning or chemical fluid ingress over time.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.
