Reason for recall

The secondary supplier provided material was within specification but did not meet our design needs compared to the primary manufacturer. The product is designed for patient transfer, not lifting. However, we recognize that the product may be utilized outside of its intended design scope, and lifting may occur. Lifting could lead tearing of the equipment cover and the potential for patient falling through.
