The product, in the report: Pride Mobility Lift Chair 5 1/2 years old Model LL585 ser no L5734006655F20
Pride Mobility Lift Chair company makes lift chairs for the disabled and handicapped. Their power outage backup is so weak it only goes half way and leaves the individual stuck in the sitting position. It’s made that way. Several very reasonable battery backups are available for $50. Pride’s is made for 2 small 9 volt batteries and do not come with the chair. Many others are 550 volts and up and can be used for wireless phones and computers with 8 backup plugs. Besides they are rechargeable too. Prides are not and must be replaced frequently. The attitude of this company is to pass off any complaint without considering any action whatsoever. Pride chairs have been made this way for many years and they are stuck in the mud and refuse suggestions to help. They do not take any suggestions or complaints seriously and are putting their customers at risk. I recommend someone seriously look into this matter an see if you do not agree that the elderly, handicapped, disabled are not worth a better safety power backup system.
CONSUMER UPDATE: Pride Lift Chairs leave the handicapped person with unreasonable risk for injury or worse during times of power outages. Their battery backup system is inadequate and underpowered. My efforts to get Pride to seriously consider correcting this hazard goes without suggest. Pride lift chairs come with only a non rechargeable 2-9 volt battery backup system that does not lift the handicapped. It is made to only half work. That is to sit only not lift so a person can get out of the chair during power outages. It only moves from a reclining position to sitting. If the power goes out while sitting the system does not move. There are several reasonable rechargeable battery systems costing $55 to $75 with 550 to 750 volts each that will lift the handicapped person from recline to sitting and standing. Prides system leaves one stranded while the others lift just like the chair is designed to do using public electric power. This company is so arrogant they stop me from communicating with their management and do nothing to consider redesigning their chair for customer safety. Pride’s Chairman and CEO [REDACTED] is not allowed to see my letters and is not aware of the legal risk Pride is exposed. No others at Pride so far have made improvements for this chair for all the many years the tiny 9 volt backup. They have 50 Engineers and refuse to consider correcting this serious flaw.
