Reason for recall
Otto Bock is recalling all Aerial and Aerial Active Wheelchair Cushions from specific material numbers. During internal testing, it was discovered that there is a small risk of flammability to the cushion after it has been washed at high temperatures. The cushions should either be returned to Otto Bock or destroyed.
Foods that need refrigeration and were stored or shipped too warm can grow harmful bacteria without any change in look or smell.
