What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries Inc is recalling 122 units of the HOI Lumbar Complete Delivery System (Reference DYNJ902823G, Lot 20AKA895).
