Rollator, Bariatric, Basic Steel, Burgundy recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

The front fork stem bolt/wheel assembly may disconnect from the rollator frame tubing. If the front fork stem bolt/wheel assembly disconnects from the rollator frame tubing, the front wheels may become loose or detach from the rollator. If the front wheels become loose or detach during use, there is risk of severe adverse events. The immediate consequences could include falls resulting in head trauma, bone fractures, or other critical injuries.

Foreign material recalls cover pieces of metal, plastic, glass, wood or other objects that got into the product during processing and could cause injury if eaten.
