Reason

Through Alcon's monitoring process, Alcon has observed that multiple shipments or forceful impact to a caster on a Luxor/LX3 microscope may stress the microscope base, which could contribute to a caster breaking or detaching from the base. This may lead to the potential for physical injury from the microscope tipping or falling.
