Altec Industries is recalling 238 specific 2019 aerial devices because high-strength fasteners securing the pedestal to the turntable may fail, potentially causing the pedestal to separate.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the defect increases the risk of injury or death, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural defects leading to severe harm.
