Statement of Commissioner Peter A. Feldman on NOVA Ortho-Med, Inc. NO. RP220110 Adult Portable Bed Rails Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
I support this CAP, but with reservations. It is the unfortunate reality of current supply chain constraints that a remedy is not immediately available to consumers. Notice to consumers, even when there is a delayed remedy, will allow them to make informed decisions that best suit individual needs. Simply discontinuing use of this product is not without its own risk. Accordingly, I would urge consumers to consult with caregivers or medical professionals on how best to proceed in the interim before a remedy becomes available.
