A customer reported an injury involving the use of a rollator walker.According to the initial report, the customer was being pushed by another individual while seated on the device in a parking lot area.When the walker encountered an uneven surface or bump transitioning from the parking lot to the sidewalk, the device reportedly collapsed, causing the customer to fall backward and strike the back of their head on the asphalt.The customer also reported additional minor injuries, including scrapes, and indicated that the assisting individual sustained a leg injury during the incident.The customer sought medical evaluation in the emergency room, where imaging (x-rays and ct scan) was performed to rule out serious complications.It is important to note that communication with the customer has ceased, and no further details or clarification have been obtained since the initial report.Additionally, the product's instruction manual clearly states: "do not push a person seated on the rollator.The rollator is a walking aid only and not to be used as a transportation device." based on the information provided, the device appears to have been used in a manner inconsistent with its intended use and labeled instructions.
