Savaria and Garaventa branded Residential Elevators recalled due to Entrapment Hazard

Children can become entrapped in the space and suffer serious injuries or death when the elevator is called to another floor. As of February 25, 2022, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
