Recalled Products

Intouch Bed Caster Stem 

Reason

Stryker received complaints which allege that a caster has broken on the top of the caster stem where the brake rod inserts into the caster. If more than one caster on a unit is damaged, brake functions may be affected and result in reduced brake holding force. If only one caster on the bed is damaged, brake functionality continues to meet specifications.
