Plain-English summary

Winco Mfg., LLC is recalling 95 units of the Designer Care Cliner 6700, 6704, and 6710 multi-position recliners. These medical devices, which feature a steel frame, are used in clinics, hospitals, and treatment centers for recovery, dialysis, oncology, examination, and infusion. The affected units were purchased between January 1, 2011, and August 20, 2012, and include a specific California TB 133 upgrade.

The recall is being conducted because the performance of the chemicals in the foam and vinyl is not consistent enough to meet the TB 133 fire protection mandate required by California and four other states. The devices were distributed nationwide, including in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas.
