Reason

Otto Bock is recalling all Aerial and Aerial Active Wheelchair Cushions from specific material numbers. During internal testing, it was discovered that there is a small risk of flammability to the cushion after it has been washed at high temperatures. The cushions should either be returned to Otto Bock or destroyed.

Action

An Urgent Voluntary Device Recall letter was sent to customers beginning 1/31/2014. The letter identified the affected material numbers, described the reason for recall, and asked that product be returned or destroyed. A response Questionnaire was asked to be completed and returned.
