Why it was recalled

The current construction of the side rail latch may not be able to support the full patient weight and may give way allowing the side rail to abruptly lower and the patient to fall, potentially resulting in harm. To date there has been one report of a related injury.

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