TiSport Recalls TiLite Wheelchair Anti-Tip Tubes for Tipping Risk

Plain-English summary

TiSport, LLC is recalling 1,452 TiLite X-Short anti-tip tubes, which are components of TiLite manual wheelchairs. The affected models include TRA, AERO T, ZRA, AERO Z, 2GX, AERO X, Twist, and AERO R. These components are designed to prevent manual wheelchairs from tipping backwards, providing mobility to physically impaired individuals.

The recall was initiated because the anti-tip tubes potentially fail in certain situations, which can cause the wheelchairs to tip backwards. The affected products were distributed nationwide, including Puerto Rico, as well as to Canada, Australia, Brazil, China, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay.

Consumers who own these specific wheelchair models should stop using the affected anti-tip tubes and contact TiSport for further instructions on how to resolve the issue.
