Why these products were recalled

The ceiling mount supplier encountered an event in which the drive screw in the motor unit, which lifts and lowers the lower lift arm, broke. As a result, the lift arm fell down approx. 60 cm (23.6 inches).

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
