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 risk-of-harm product (patient fall) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed illness or injury.
Plain-English summary
Little Rapids Corporation is recalling 153 cases (4,590 units total) of Graham Medical SnugFit(R) Expandable Mattress Covers, Code 72930. The affected units have lot codes 17871, 17971, 18071, and 18971. The product was distributed in Texas, Connecticut, Tennessee, Missouri, Wisconsin, Florida, South Dakota, Mississippi, and California.
The recall was initiated because the secondary supplier provided material that, while within specification, did not meet the design needs compared to the primary manufacturer. Although the product is designed for patient transfer rather than lifting, the company recognizes it may be used for lifting. This usage could lead to tearing of the equipment cover and the potential for a patient to fall through.
Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific lot codes should stop using the product and contact Little Rapids Corporation for instructions on return or replacement.
