Raye's Inc. has recalled 1,149 units of the SW Bari Lift & Transfer hoist (Model Number 38060000). Engineering tests revealed the device cannot safely support its maximum documented weight capacity when required safety factors are applied. Additionally, the device lacks a critical backup safety mechanism to prevent a patient from falling if the primary lifting component fails. These units were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and internationally to Australia and the United Kingdom.
The hoist may fail structurally when lifting patients at its maximum weight limit, or it could drop a patient during a mechanical failure because it lacks a secondary safety device. This poses a significant risk of falls and serious impact injuries to persons with disabilities.
