From (b)(6) 2016- (b)(6) 2017 and (b)(6) 2018, there were various discussions between the complainant and the formally designated complaint units. During initial discussions on (b)(6) 2017- (b)(6) 2017, the complainant complained to the finished product manufacturer/ specification developer that on/around (b)(6) 2017, (a) she (adult female) had chest pains while using the itovi device (i. E while scanning, but having the unit unplugged from the power source); and (b) an adult male and a male child (i. E. (b)(6) toddler) were hurt while using the device (i. E scanning but having the unit be unplugged from the power source). From additional discussions on 4/30/2018, the complainant explained the problem in more detail and alleged to the complaint filing establishment that (a) she (adult female) received an electric shock while using the itovi device (i. E. While scanning but having the unit unplugged from the power source) that later caused her to have knots on her arm between the elbow and wrist, lose strength in both hands and arms, and tingling sensations and electric current in her fingertips, shoulder, arm, and both hands which lasted a few days during and after usage (in which she sought medical attention from her chiropractor 4-5 times, the chiropractor said she may have suffered an accidental shock); (b) the itovi device also caused the complainant to loose work as a massage therapist because she became weak, had pains, and fatigue. Additionally, the symptoms caused to her have to pulling off the road while driving (i. E. Due to her having instant knots underneath her skin, pain in her fingertips. Chest pain, and a migraine headache); and (c) after initial usage by the complainant, the same and/or another itovi device was then used on a mother (i. E. An adult female who was previously diagnosed with epilepsy), a husband (i. E. An adult male), and their two children (i. E. A male (b)(6) and a male newborn) (i. E. Either friends or relatives of the complainant) on/around (b)(6) 2017, who also alleged that the itovi device caused (i) the mother to maybe have epileptic type symptoms, but actually have a headache, be lightheaded, be lethargic, and be frustrated and hostile (i. E. Very untypical behaviors from the mother) while using and after usage for a day; (ii) the husband to have a migraine headache, not feeling well, and having sensations in both hands (i. E. Like his hands were in an electrically charged bucket) while using and after usage for over a day; (iii) the newborn to have a loss of appetite, crying in the evening, would not snuggle with the parents, and was beside himself during and for at several hours after using the device; and (iv) the (b)(6) toddler to have a meltdown after usage until bedtime. Also, besides the complainant and her relatives/ friends (i. E. The adult mother, adult husband and their 2 children), the complainant also had two additional male children (ages 8 and 9 or 10) use the itovi device in which one boy complained of being hurt from touching the device's silver balls and having weird feelings, acting strange, and needing to lay down during and/or after usage. It is unknown as to whether the other child had an adverse effect from using the device. Lastly, the complainant also alleged that the itovi device caused her to jerk her neck, become dizzy, have a migraine, loose strength in her hand and fingers, and not be able to work (thus causing her to change her plans). It is unknown whether the other users sought medical attention because the complainant refused to speak to the formally designated complaint unit after the (b)(6) 2018 telecom.
