Skytron, Div. The KMW Group, Inc. is recalling 458 units of the EZ Slide Battery/line powered hydraulic table with removable leg section and 21.5 top slide, also known as the Skytron EZ Slide Operating Table. The recall involves Model number 3502 units that entered commercial distribution between April 30, 2014, and July 24, 2014.
