Winco Recalls Caremor Cliner Patient Recliners Due to Frame Defect

Winco Mfg. is recalling Caremor Cliner patient recliners because a back frame may not snap properly onto the chair frame.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a medical device that could lead to injury, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
