Recall Insight

This FDA Devices action (record #Z-0245-2023) was formally reported on November 23, 2022, with the manufacturer initiating the action on October 24, 2022. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Ongoing. Tollos is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Owings Mills, MD. Federal records indicate 1273 US; 70 OUS units are affected, a scale large enough to require multi-state distribution tracking.

The documented reason for this recall is: Two customers reported four incidents in which the lifting strap broke while lifting a patient. If the IC strap fails during use, the patient may fall causing injury to them or the caregiver(s). Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide - US Nationwide distribution and the countries of Canada and United Arab Emirates.. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 4 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
