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: The source indicates an FDA Class II recall with a non-compliance issue (failure to meet safety standard DIN EN 1789:20) and potential for detachment of a mounting bracket used in critical patient transport. No reported illnesses or injuries are mentioned, but this is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the High (score 3) threshold.
