Thor Photomedicine Ltd: Whole Body Red Light Therapy Beds Recalled for Detaching Canopy Struts

Agency Publication Date: December 1, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Thor Photomedicine Ltd has recalled 77 NovoTHOR whole body red light therapy beds because a critical component called a ball stud can fail. This failure causes the gas strut that supports the heavy canopy to detach on one side, making the lid very difficult to lift and potentially allowing it to fall unexpectedly. The recall includes four specific models—Gen 2.0, Gen 2.0 XL, Gen 2.5 Regular, and Gen 2.5 XL—sold worldwide and across 22 U.S. states.

Risk

The failure of the ball stud components causes the gas-filled support strut to detach, which removes the mechanical assistance required to hold up the heavy canopy. This poses a physical injury risk if the canopy becomes difficult to maneuver or falls unexpectedly on a user.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your device model and serial number to see if it is included in this recall. Affected models include NovoTHOR Gen 2.0 (Model S1176), Gen 2.0 XL (Model S1177), Gen 2.5 Regular (Model S2183), and Gen 2.5 XL (Model S2184).

  4. If your unit is a Gen 2.5 Regular (Model S2183), look for serial numbers: 2002, 2050, 2051, 2052, 2053, 2054, 2055, 2056, 2057, 2059, 2060, 2061, 2062, 2064, 2065, 2066, 2075, 2076, 2077, 2078, 2081, 2084, 2085, 2086, 2088, 2089, 2090, 2094, or 2097.
