Manufacturer Narrative
|
Based on the limited available information and per the analysis of internal historical data pertaining to the product, it was found that there were no preventative maintenance checks performed from manufacturer's end.Internal records show that only one table was delivered to this facility in the year 2004 and hence, we suspect that the spine top joints may have disbonded due to aging and corrosion.
