Description of the problem:Field Safety Notice has been raised to make people aware of a reported instance of a hand tube nut coming away during daily use of a Kaye Walker (please be advised that no injury was sustained). Following an extensive investigation, we believe that this failure was due to assembly operative error as it is feasible that an assembly operative failed to sufficiently tighten the nut on the hand U tube.

Before considering using an Upi standing frame without its tray, at a table or other work surface, please be aware of the potential risks. The Upi is designed as a free-standing vertical stander to be used with its own tray independant of other therapy equipment or surfaces. Users with good upperbody and arm strength could conceivably affect the stability of the Upi should they be pushed to a table.

Q: Dear Sir - I have recently had a problem with one of our area Active Sports Coordinators stopping a child from using their Kaye-walker during sports day activities at school. This little boy enjoys sport and has always until that point used his Kaye-walker during class sports sessions and at his after school club where he uses it to play football and other games.
