What this means

- If you own this rollator, stop using it until you contact Medline for inspection or repair.
- Check the product number MDS86800XWBS and lot numbers 05425080001 or 05426040001 on your device.

The agency's original wording
The front fork stem bolt/wheel assembly may disconnect from the rollator frame tubing. If the front fork stem bolt/wheel assembly disconnects from the rollator frame tubing, the front wheels may become loose or detach from the rollator. If the front wheels become loose or detach during use, there is risk of severe adverse events. The immediate consequences could include falls resulting in head trauma, bone fractures, or other critical injuries.
