My thoughts

I wonder what kind of quality control is happening globally to products these days. Clearly in this case, these monitors were having issues in Europe and there were "minor injuries". 

Thankfully Philips proactively recalled them.

Please share, these monitors are likely to be found at thrift stores, garage sales, Facebook Marketplace, etc. as haven't been sold at stores since 2020.
