What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the hazard may lead to death and irreversible tissue damage, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) or Critical (5) rating. Given the agency classification is Class II and the text describes potential rather than confirmed fatalities, a score of 4 is appropriate.
Plain-English summary
ArjoHuntleigh Polska Sp. z.o.o. is recalling 10 units of the Flites Passive Clip Sling (Model MFA1000M-L-L1, Lot DHD1301721). The product is intended for the assisted transfer of patients or residents with limited mobility. The recall was initiated after an inspection process at the manufacturer identified that nonwoven material was used in specific lots of the product.
The identified defect presents a risk that the sling may break while in use during a patient or resident transfer. If the sling breaks, the patient or resident might fall to the floor. The source text notes that such a fall could result in major trauma, head injury, irreversible tissue damage, or death.
The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States, specifically within the state of West Virginia. The product was manufactured outside the United States and imported for distribution.
