Nova Ortho-Med recalls Star 8 Rolling Walkers with specific serial numbers due to risk of front fork unscrewing, causing instability and potential fall. Affected models sold before April 4, 2019.
Walkers within the identified serial range have the potential for the front fork to unscrew itself from the leg. A partially unscrewed fork creates unevenness in the wheelbase, which could cause instability, that if not detected by the user, may result in the front fork falling off the walker.
