Although AVX designs and manufactures its products to the most stringent quality and safety standards, given
the current state of the art, isolated component failures may still occur. Accordingly, customer applications
which require a high degree of reliability or safety should employ suitable designs or other safeguards (such as
installation of protective circuitry or redundancies) in order to ensure that the failure of an electrical component
does not result in a risk of personal injury or property damage.
