The Orlando Magic forward, who has been deemed an All-Star in his profession, suffered from a herniated disc in his lower back based on the sport that he is involved with. This injury has caused Howard to be sidelined for the rest of the season, as well as the summer Olympics.

He had arthroscopic surgery for his herniated disc, and he is hopeful to complete the recovery phase in a four month time frame. He believes he will make a full return to the game, and that his back injury will not be an issue in the next NBA season.

As a result of the accident, a 25-year-old firefighter and a 60-year-old veteran firefighter lost their lives. One man was able to escape before he sustained injuries, and the other two men received life-threatening injuries. Investigators are currently investigating the cause of the deadly flames.

The recall came after a thorough investigation of claims regarding the safety of a battery cable connector.
