I have a Freestyle Libre reader I keep as a backup but have not used it is some time, so I don’t recall seeing any notifications about this. In case you missed it too, please read this safety article.

Thanks, Dorie! @wadawabbit I hadn’t seen that article. I’m glad it is for the reader and not the sensor! Maybe this issue is the reason why Abbott doesn’t offer a reader for the Libre 3. ---

I’m so glad you posted about this because I use the freestyle 2, and they didn’t contact me by email to let me know anything about this. I just called them about not being able to charge my reader. Looking up info on the reader, I found there is a two year warranty on them, and can receive a new one after 2 years. It also said 3 years is about the life of a reader. I’m well beyond that with this reader that won’t charge. ---

Me too! I’m glad the worst that happened was that it stopped taking readings. We’re so used to hearing safety recalls or at least alerts about these kind of issues, I can’t understand why people didn’t get some sort of notification. Not to mention a message letting you know your warranty is nearing its end. 😳😱
