ETAC A/S is recalling approximately 255 Molift brand mobile hoists and sling bar accessories, including the Molift Mover 205 and 300 models. The recall was initiated after a mounting bolt broke during assembly and load testing due to material deformation between the lifting bar and the device arm. This defect can cause limited mobility in the joint and prevent the equipment from functioning correctly, which is critical for an assistive device designed to transfer individuals with physical impairments.
The mounting bolt for the lifting bar can break or the joint can seize due to material deformation, potentially causing the lifting mechanism to fail while in use. This poses a risk of injury to patients being transferred and their caregivers if the hoist cannot be safely operated or if the lifting bar detaches.
