Recalled Massager Poses Risk of Death, Serious Injury
Posted by in Medical MalpracticeIf your lovely Aunt Shelby give you a ShoulderFlex massager for Christmas … well, you don’t even want to re-gift this thing. And whatever you do, don’t use it!

The ShoulderFlex massager by now bankrupt King International was recalled in August. NPR reports that the FDA recalled the device because clothing, hair and jewelry can get tangled in the device’s rotating parts. There were reports of one person being strangled by the massager and at least one other near-death by strangulation.
Before the recall process could be completed, King International went into bankruptcy. The toll-free recall number has been disconnected. Many consumers who purchased the product may not have been advised of the recall.
If you own one, take it back to the store where you purchased it. After all, you don’t want to end up on one of those “news of the weird” shows.
Happy Holidays!
