FDA (Devices) recall action 69378
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 3 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 3 pages.
If the slack in the wires is not routed and secured correctly, flexing of the back pan under the users weight may cause the headrest knob or clamp bracket to pinch, damage or cut the wire. Smoking, sparking, burning or fire may occur if a wire is repetitively pinched at the same place.
