What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

DDT Mobility Inc. is recalling one portable classroom trailer equipped with a Ricon wheelchair lift. The recall addresses a potential issue with the optional armored pendant cable used with the lift.

The armored cable may be positioned in a way that it does not clear the wheelchair lift. If the cable contacts the power lug and lacks a proper nonconductive cover, a short circuit may occur, which could result in a fire.

DDT has contacted the customer and is providing the owner with a supplemental cover kit and instructions free of charge. Owners may also contact Ricon Customer Service at 1-800-322-2884 or by e-mail at [email protected].
