The CPSC and 3 makers of residential elevators, Bella Elevator, LLC, Inclinator Company of America, and Savaria Corporation, now announce recalls on a total of 69,000 residential elevators in the US and in Canada.  All of these elevators share the same issue: young children can become trapped in the space between the exterior door and the interior elevator car door or gate.  This occurs if there is a hazardous gap, and little ones may suffer serious injuries or death when the elevator is called to another floor.  The manufacturers have made a joint commitment to reengineer their products to avoid this dangerous issue in the future.  Meanwhile, owners of these elevators can obtain space guards from the manufacturers to prevent child entrapment.  Contact Bella Elevator by calling 1-877-375-1428 or online at symmetryelevators.com.  Contact Inclinator by phone at 1-833-620-2949 or online at inclinator.com.  Contact Savaria by phone at 1-855-983-5520 or online at Savaria.com.
