Med-Mizer is recalling 191 Retractabed Clinical Contour adjustable beds manufactured before June 7, 2008, due to insufficient welding that could cause bed collapse.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (insufficient welding) that can lead to bed collapse, which poses a significant risk of injury to patients, meeting the criteria for a Severe (Score 4) classification.

Plain-English summary

Med-Mizer, Inc. is recalling 191 units of the Retractabed Clinical Contour adjustable bed (Models SS 762, 763, and 763A) manufactured prior to June 7, 2008. These beds are AC-powered and used in acute and long-term care settings for geriatric care. The recall covers units distributed nationwide in the United States.

The recall was initiated because the foot cross tube on these beds may have insufficient welding. This tube is responsible for holding the two support rails together when the foot side rails are used, preventing them from separating from the frame. If the weld on the tube breaks, it can lead to bed collapse or the rollers coming out of the channel.

Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the affected beds immediately and contact Med-Mizer, Inc. for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The affected serial numbers are 300000-300191 for Model 762, 200000 for Model 763, and 400000-40103 for Model 763A.
