What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall, which establishes a minimum severity of 4 per the rubric. The defect creates a risk of unintended wheelchair movement—a serious functional hazard for mobility device users—though no injuries or deaths have been reported in the source material.

Plain-English summary

mo-Vis BVBA is recalling the All-round Joystick R-net Light, an electrical component for powered wheelchairs, due to a firmware defect affecting units with firmware version 2.3 or lower. The defect involves timing variations in software task execution that may cause the device to skip its required neutral position verification.

If the joystick is not in neutral when power is applied, the wheelchair may produce unintended movement. This poses a significant risk of injury or loss of control for wheelchair users.

The recalled units include Model No. P002-76 with serial numbers from 1000 to 2647 (3 units total). The affected devices were distributed nationwide in Texas. Consumers should stop using affected joysticks and contact mo-Vis BVBA or their wheelchair supplier for information on firmware updates or replacement options.
