WillowWood recalls Alpha Interlock Suspension System Lanyard Body due to a shorter pin causing cord to slip, risking loss of suspension. Affected units sold April 2020-2021.
the firm discovered that, starting on April 1, 2020, a 3/8 dowel pin was used in place of the 5/8 pin. Over time, the shorter pin may not engage in either the upper or lower body, causing the cord to come loose or slip which could result in the loss of suspension.
WillowWood is recalling Alpha Interlock Suspension System Lanyard Bodies because a shorter pin (3/8 instead of 5/8) may cause the cord to slip, potentially leading to loss of suspension. This affects users who rely on the lanyard for prosthetic support.
The lanyard uses a pin to hold the cord in place. Starting April 1, 2020, a shorter 3/8 pin was used instead of the required 5/8 pin. Over time, this shorter pin may not stay engaged, causing the cord to slip and potentially leading to loss of suspension.
Users of the Alpha Interlock Suspension System Lanyard Body for prosthetics are most at risk, particularly those who depend on the lanyard for secure suspension.
Check for a lot number stamped on the outside of the lanyard body. The product was sold from April 1, 2020, to April 8, 2021, with model numbers 700-AIS100, 700-AIS101, or 700-AIS107.
