Why it was recalled

Potential safety latch mechanism failure. The safety latch, within the column that supports the horizontal arm, is a backup in the unlikely event the primary safety cable breaks. A fall of the arm assembly could result in bodily harm to a person.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
