Reason for Recall

After feedback from customers and internal suspicion, Handicare has become aware that abnormal use of Eva-lifts could lead to a deterioation in the joint of the liftarm. This could lead to injury if the joint breaks. All lifts must therefore be checked and reported back to the manuafacturer.

Firm Action

The firm notified their consignees on 06/15/2016 by email. The notice explained the issue of wear in the joint of the lift arm due to abnormal use in heavy loads and/or many lifts. The consignee was directed to inspect the lifts in order to identify gaps and/or cracks and to report to the local Handicare sales representative and to Handicare. On April 4, 2019, the firm sent a reminder notice on 04/04/2019
