Approximately 240 Elmira Hydraulic residential elevators installed by Coastal Carolina Elevators are being recalled because they can operate while the gate door is open. The elevators feature manual accordion-style car gates with vinyl laminate inserts and control panels that display the name 'Cambridge Elevating'. These elevators were installed in multi-story homes primarily by residential contractors and home builders like DRHorton between January 2006 and December 2009. Consumers should immediately stop using these elevators and contact Coastal Carolina Elevators for a free repair.
The elevator can continue to move while the inner gate door is open, creating a gap where a person can become trapped and crushed. One catastrophic brain injury to a 10-year-old child and two other incidents have been reported in connection with this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled elevators and contact Coastal Carolina Elevator for a free repair.
