Kinsman recalls Easi-Care gait belt metal buckles that may fail at loads below 600lbs. Affected models include 54", 60", and 72" lengths with specific product numbers.
The belt may fail at lower loads than the labeled 600lbs.
Kinsman is recalling Easi-Care gait belt metal buckles that could fail under less than 600 pounds of force. This risk matters because the belts are used to support people during mobility, and failure could cause injury.
The metal buckle in the gait belt may fail when the belt is subjected to forces below the labeled 600-pound capacity. This could happen during normal use when supporting a person's weight, potentially causing injury.
People who own or use Easi-Care gait belts with the specified lengths (54", 60", 72") and product numbers are affected. Those who rely on the belts for mobility assistance are at higher risk.
Check for product numbers 80805 (54"), 80806 (60"), or 80807 (72"). The belts are sold with specific UPC codes: 873704007275, 873704006773, or 873704007282.
Look for product numbers 80805 (54"), 80806 (60"), or 80807 (72") on the belt.
