  • Causa
    The firm received complaints of the stretchers folding. a fold is when the stretcher lowers on its own to either the next position, or any of the other seven postions of the stretcher.
  • Acción
    The firm went out to customers who had complained of a 'fold' and installed the kit on the stretcher that had experienced the fold and on all other PROflexx stretchers owned by the customer. These customers had received a recall letter, dated March 28, 2003. For customers that had not complained of the stretchers 'folding', the firm sent a letter dated June 24, 2003, to all distributors requesting the distributor provide the firm with a list of customers that had received the PROflex stretchers. Once the firm had a list of all customers, they sent them a letter offering them the kit as an enhancement that they could purchase to help reduce the possibility of false locking.
