GE Medical Systems, LLC Giraffe OmniBed Field Replaceable Unit recall: GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue involving the canopy

Recall published 4 months ago

GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue involving the canopy soffit beneath the control panel end of the device. Under certain conditions, for example, impact during transport, one or more of the fasteners that secure the soffit can disengage. If this occurs, a fastener could fall into the patient compartment. In rare circumstances, if multiple fasteners disengage, the canopy soffit can become loose or detach. These conditions could potentially result in patient injury.

The hazard: Fall or tip-over hazard

This product can tip over or collapse, which is a hazard that reveals itself all at once rather than gradually.

What the notice says: GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue involving the canopy soffit beneath the control panel end of the device. Under certain conditions, for example, impact during transport, one or more of the fasteners that secure the soffit can disengage. If this occurs, a fastener could fall into the patient compartment. In rare circumstances, if multiple fasteners disengage, the canopy soffit can become loose or detach. These conditions could potentially result in patient injury.

Why it matters: The product can tip, collapse or give way under normal use. Furniture tip-overs in particular kill and injure young children, usually when a child climbs on an open drawer.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

After a fall or a tip-over involving a child, watch for a headache that gets worse, repeated vomiting, drowsiness that is hard to rouse, confusion, unequal pupils, clear fluid from the nose or ear, or a seizure, and call 911 if any of these appear. Any fall onto the head in a baby under one, or any loss of consciousness at any age, needs to be assessed the same day.

What to do about Fall

GE Medical Systems, LLC — This product can tip over or collapse, which is a hazard that reveals itself all at once rather than gradually.

  1. Stop using the product and, if it is furniture, move it out of a child’s room until the remedy is done.
  2. Follow the remedy on this page; many of these recalls supply a free anchoring kit as well as a refund.
  3. Anchor tall furniture to the wall with a tip-over restraint — this is worth doing for every chest and bookcase in the house, not just this one.
  4. Keep TVs, toys and anything else tempting off the top of tall furniture, because that is what draws a child to climb.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.
