FDA Announces Nationwide Recall of Faulty Patients Lifts

3/19/04
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on March 4 that Moving Solutions, Inc., of Downers Grove, Ill., is recalling its patient lifts because of a faulty design.


With the Moving Solutions lift, excessive wear of the main bolt, which secures the lift arm to the main frame of the patient lift, will cause the bolt to break. When the bolt breaks, the lift arm is no longer secured to the lift, which will cause the patient to fall.
