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.

Plain-English summary

Winco Mfg., LLC is recalling 95 units of the Premier Care Recliner models 5570 and 5574. These multi-position recliners with steel frames were purchased between January 1, 2011, and August 20, 2012, and are used primarily in clinics, hospitals, and treatment centers for recovery, dialysis, oncology, examination, and infusion.

The affected units were distributed nationwide, including in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Facilities and consumers who possess these specific recliners should stop using them and contact Winco Mfg., LLC for further instructions on the recall process.
