SCM True Air Technologies Recalls JK Bariatric Beds for Design Control Failures

SCM True Air Technologies is recalling 24 JK Bariatric Beds nationwide due to lack of design controls, missing Device Master Records, and unapproved vendors.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths. The hazard stems from quality control failures (lack of design controls and vendor approval) rather than a specific, reported physical defect causing harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

SCM True Air Technologies LLC is recalling 24 JK Bariatric Beds distributed nationwide, including in Georgia, Kentucky, and Michigan. The recall is being conducted because the firm failed to maintain adequate design controls, lacked a Device Master Record, and failed to approve specific vendors.
