FDA (Devices) recall action 95375
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.
Firm identified a potential risk for a fall hazard. When the end user is readjusting from the slouched seated position to an upright seated position, there is the potential for the movement to cause the backrest to lift out of the backrest holder and disengage from the unit.
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.
