Reason for recall
The center bolt of the sling bar, which connects the bar to the patient lift, has failed during use. If the sling bar is not used as intended the bolt may be weakened. If the bolt is weakened there is a potential risk for breakage with the result of a free fall of the patient. This hazard could cause potentially minor to catastrophic injuries to a patient.
