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: This recall affects a risk-of-harm medical device where no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The mislabeled weight capacity could result in serious injury if users exceed the actual 400 lbs limit based on the incorrect 500 lbs label.
Plain-English summary
Oakworks Inc. has recalled 109 units of its Emergency Field Bed (Model OBMPBR361980A6TTGRCS). The affected units were distributed in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Each recalled unit has a serial number between PWK769356 and PWK769464.
The warning label on the recalled beds specifies an incorrect weight capacity. The label states that the bed has a 500 lbs weight limit, but the actual safe weight capacity is 400 lbs. Using the bed with loads exceeding 400 lbs could result in failure or injury.
Consumers who own one of these beds should verify their unit's serial number against the recalled range. If your bed's serial number falls between PWK769356 and PWK769464, it is included in this recall and should not be used.
