What does a Vail Products hospital bed and a mutant venus fly trap have in common? More than you would think! Feed me Seymour....Feed me!
The FDA has ordered a seizure of all Vail Products Inc. enclosed hospital beds due to reports of at least 30 people becoming trapped in these beds and 7 of those people being killed by the incident. US Marshals seized the 500, 1000, and 2000 model beds and related materials yesterday working on FDA orders. The FDA reportedly had sent two warning letters to Vail Products detailing quality requirements which the company ignored. This just demonstrates the insensitivity and lack of compassion towards the clients that they provide products to. I have long held the belief that medical equipment is not developed by the people who utilize it. This often leads to ridiculous products (see my Feb. 7th-Feb. 13th archives for related "Monkey Business" and "Sock Darner" posts) and in this case unsafe products.
