Why these products were recalled

Stretch Leveller has the potential to lose the function of maintaining a patient in the horizontal position when lifting and in motion. When this function is lost the patient can slide backwards and potentially may fall out of the Oct lift sheet back onto the surface it is being lifted from.

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.
