Medline beds labeled as: Semi Electric Lightweight Homecare Bed recall: Medline Industries has identified a potential hazard involving the hand

Recall published 9 months ago

Medline Industries has identified a potential hazard involving the hand control pendant and associated wires. In rare and atypical scenarios such as operating the bed above its specified weight limit, encountering an obstruction to bed movement, or experiencing jammed components/motor the hand pendant and pendant cords may overheat and, in rare instances, pose a risk of fire. Medline Industries, LP has received a total of (58) complaints associated with reports of pendant sparking, burning, melting, smoking or fire.

The hazard: Fire or burn hazard

The hazard here is thermal: the product can get hot enough to ignite what is around it, or to burn whoever is holding it.

What the notice says: Medline Industries has identified a potential hazard involving the hand control pendant and associated wires. In rare and atypical scenarios such as operating the bed above its specified weight limit, encountering an obstruction to bed movement, or experiencing jammed components/motor the hand pendant and pendant cords may overheat and, in rare instances, pose a risk of fire. Medline Industries, LP has received a total of (58) complaints associated with reports of pendant sparking, burning, melting, smoking or fire.

Why it matters: The product can overheat, ignite or cause a burn. Where lithium batteries are involved the failure is fast and very hot, and water does not put it out quickly.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Treat a burn by cooling it under running water for about 20 minutes — not with ice, butter or ointment — and cover it loosely with a clean non-fluffy cloth. Get medical help for burns that are larger than the person’s palm, that are deep or white or charred, that involve the face, hands, feet or genitals, or any burn to a baby or young child. If someone has inhaled smoke and is coughing, hoarse or short of breath, call 911.

What to do about Fire

Medline Industries, LP — The hazard here is thermal: the product can get hot enough to ignite what is around it, or to burn whoever is holding it.

  1. Stop using it and unplug it from the wall. If it runs on a battery pack, stop charging it.
  2. If it has already overheated, scorched or swelled, do not keep using it and do not try to repair it.
  3. Check that your smoke alarms work while you are thinking about it, and follow the remedy on this page.
  4. Move it off anything that burns — a bed, a sofa, a carpet, a pile of paper — and away from exits.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.
