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 recall involves a fire hazard in a medical device where no injuries or illnesses have been reported, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Winco Mfg., LLC is recalling 30 units of the Winco Drop Arm Care Cliner Standard chair, Model Number 6550. The recall involves specific serial numbers ranging from 655A108119 to 655A108148. These chairs are used in oncology, dialysis, hospital recovery, home dialysis, and physician facilities.

Consumers and facility managers should stop using the affected chairs and contact Winco Mfg., LLC for instructions on the recall.
