What this means for you
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 medical device with a structural defect (fatigue failure of load-bearing components) that poses a risk of harm, 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.
Plain-English summary
Community Products, LLC is recalling 3,282 units of the Rifton TRAM Standard Base, SKU K310, powered lift device. The recall was initiated because a design change to the load-bearing quick release buckle renders the springs in the latch mechanism susceptible to fatigue failure after repeated use.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States and worldwide, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Denmark, Italy, Hong Kong, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Colombia, and Russia. The recall covers specific units identified by ID codes beginning with K310, with dates ranging from 2012 to 2016.
Consumers should stop using the affected Rifton TRAM Standard Base devices immediately. The fatigue failure of the latch mechanism springs could compromise the safety of the lift. Users should contact Community Products, LLC for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
