mo-Vis BVBA is recalling approximately 129 units of the Scoot Control R-net (Product Number P015-61), a device used by attendants to maneuver power wheelchairs. The throttle lever on these units can become temporarily stuck during use and may fail to return to its neutral position. This defect can cause the wheelchair to move unexpectedly, which could lead to collisions, injuries for the user or bystanders, and property damage. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer immediately to determine if their device is safe to use and to learn about the next steps for correction.
If the throttle lever remains stuck instead of returning to neutral, the wheelchair may continue to move without the attendant's control. This unintended movement can cause the chair to hit objects or people, potentially resulting in serious injury to the rider, the attendant, or nearby individuals.
