The CPSC just settled their lawsuit with the Thyssenkrupp Access Solutions Corp. forcing the company to recall  a series of their residential elevators including Chaparral, Destiny, LEV, LEV II, LEV II Builder, Rise, Volant, Windsor, Independence, and Flexi-Lift models manufactured and sold to dealers for installation in homes between approximately 1996 and 2012.  The space between the exterior shaft doors and the elevator car doors is overly wide permitting entrapment of children with serious injury or death as the elevator moves floor to floor.  About 16,800 elevators are implicated.  If you have one of these elevators in your home, immediately stop using it and contact TKA at 1-800-285-9862 for a free inspection and installation of a space safety guard.
