Federal Officials Seize Faulty Patient Lifts with Dangerous Defect

U.S. authorities have filed suit to seize 26 Faaborg Patient Lifts from

Illinois-based Moving Solutions, Inc., because they can break and seriously

harm patients. The lifts are mechanical sling-like devices used to lift and

move patients. According to the lawsuit and FDA reports, one patient died

and one was seriously injured because of the faulty devices.
