“Hillrom is recalling the Liko Multirall 200 Overhead Lift due to customer reports that the Q-link strap lock does not attach to the S65 carriage hook as it should,” FDA said. “If the strap lock does not attach, the motor or the patient may fall from the sitting position. Use of the affected product may cause adverse events such as serious injury and death.”
