KM8020 III Karma Eagle Wheelchair Multiple serial numbers (see serial number list) ARTG 182294 (Independent Healthcare Solutions - Wheelchair, attendant/occupant driven) Model numbers: KM8020Q-14/ KM8020Q-16/ KM8020Q-1618/ KM8020Q-18/ KM8020Q-1818
Why it was recalled
While the sticker on the wheelchair correctly identifies the maximum user weight (130kg), the user manual supplied with these wheelchairs is incorrect. It states the maximum user weight is 160kg. The manual should state 130kg as the correct user weight.
Hazard
Users may be misinformed about the safe user weight of the chair, increasing the risk that the user may be seriously injured if the wheelchair breaks or collapses, or if the user falls out of the chair.
