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: FDA Class II recall of a medical device used for patient handling, with a mechanical defect (missing bushing) that creates a risk of patient falls. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source material, making this a theoretical risk of harm.
