Reason for recall

Invacare identified that the rail mounting bracket on the G29 full length bed rail was out of specification for entrapment safety.

Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
