GF Health Products Recalls Patriot Homecare Beds Due to Motor Defect

GF Health Products is voluntarily correcting Patriot homecare beds because contaminated motor housings may crack, potentially causing the head section to fall.

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 where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for theoretical injury potential without confirmed harm.

Plain-English summary

GF Health Products, Inc., in conjunction with OKIN America, has initiated a voluntary field correction for the Lumex Patriot Full Electric Bed (Models US0458/US0468) and Patriot LX Full Electric Bed (Model US6000). The recall affects 3,547 units, including 3,063 beds and 484 motors, distributed nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, and internationally to the Bahamas, Canada, Chile, El Salvador, and Santo Domingo.

The defect is caused by contaminated material in the plastic housing of the OKIN America "DUOMAT 3" Head/Foot motor. This contamination may cause the motor housing to crack, resulting in a motor that fails to actuate the head section as intended. If the head section were to fall, an injury could occur, though this is described as unlikely but possible. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should contact GF Health Products or OKIN America to arrange for the field correction. The affected serial number ranges are US0458/US0468 (697142145108 through 697142147927 and 697144140132 through 697144140172) and US6000 (69204141262 through 69204141737). Service motor kits with ship dates from May 4, 2015, through June 30, 2016, are also included.
