Why it was recalled
An injury may occur if a user positions their fingers beneath the seat when the seat is tilted backward in the reclined position.
Hazard
When the seat is tilted forwards again to the upright position the fingers may be crushed if they are trapped between the seat frame and the frame stopper. The stopper is a functional necessity required to stop the tilting action when the seat returns to the horizontal position. When used correctly by a carer, all users fingers, hands, limbs should be positioned away from all moving parts of the commode including the tilting mechanism.
