Bella Elevator Recalls Residential Elevators Due to Child Entrapment Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death to Young Children
Bella Elevator, LLC, d/b/a Symmetry Elevating Solutions, of Peoria, Ill.
Hazard
Young children can become entrapped in the space between the exterior landing (hoistway) door and the interior elevator car door or gate if there is a hazardous gap, and suffer serious injuries or death when the elevator is called to another floor.
Remedy
Consumers should keep unsupervised young children away from the recalled residential elevators and contact the manufacturers for instructions on how to measure for space guards to correct any hazardous gap. Space guards will be provided free of charge and assistance with space guard installation will be provided on request.
Sold at
Bella residential elevators and parts were sold through a network of authorized dealers and, occasionally, directly to consumers nationwide from June 2009 to December 2021 for between approximately $20,000 and $35,000 including installation.
