Firm Action
FERNO issued an URGENT PRODUCT CORRECTION notice to its consignees on 09/11/2025 via USPS certified mail. The notice explained the issue, potential risk to user, and requested the consignee identify the affected unit, inspect it using the following criteria:
Visual Inspection
" Look for gaps between the fastener head and the surface.
" Check for missing fasteners.
" Look for shiny wear marks, rust streaks, or metal shavings around the fastener these
can indicate movement.
" Inspect for vibration marks (circular or elongated wear around bolt holes).
Physical/Manual Check
" Hand-check: Use your fingers or a small wrench to see if the fastener turns easily
when it should not.
" Shake or tap test: Lightly tap the fastener or surrounding component with a
non-marring tool; rattling or movement suggests looseness.
Functional Signs
" Listen for unusual rattling or vibration during operation.
" Check for misalignment of connected parts (hinges, brackets, covers, panels).
" Watch for loosened thread-locking compounds if broken, the fastener may have shifted.
IF A COT IS FOUND TO HAVE LOOSE OR MISSING HARDWARE, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY REMOVE IT FROM SERVICE UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETE.
