Reason
Sunrise Medical (US) LLC has observed failure of the original Backrest Bracket (2009-2013) which can fatigue over the lifetime of the product. When this occurs, there is a possibility of the bracket fracturing causing the backrest to detach from the chair frame. The root cause was found to be insufficient material in a high stress area. Under certain loading conditions these high stresses can lead to material fatigue and ultimately failure of the bracket.
