Ralston Group Recalls Maximum Pelvic Trainer Due to FDA Registration Errors

Ralston Group is recalling 534 Maximum Pelvic Trainer units because the device was incorrectly listed with the FDA and lacks a required 510(k) submission.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 1/5 (Low).

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is driven by documentation and registration errors (missing 510(k) and incorrect listing) rather than a physical defect or reported health hazard, fitting the 'documentation issues' criterion for a Low severity score.
