There have been no other reported complaints for this issue from other accounts. A supplemental form will be sent once the evaluation is completed if the device is returned. The device history report was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.

The device was returned to the manufacturer for evaluation. The wipe down of the device with alcohol reveals that the only portions where there is a black residue is where the device has been inked by the manufacturer with black stripes. This is an oem issue, directly related to the manufacture of the device. A complaint query reveals that this is the only account with the black residue complaint. As this is an oem issue, no corrective action has been issued at this time. The black residue has also been confirmed when the same wipe down was performed on an unopened oem product.
