Reported risk: There is a potential for the Reacher arm to "teeter" at the edge of the base of the trolley eyelet that extends from the ceiling track. When approaching the trolley eyelet with the Reacher arm hook from an angle teetering may occur. When it occurs the Reacher arm may slide all the way onto the hook (proper final positioning) or slide away from the hook (resulting in falling to the surface below). This is limited to the customers in the Manitoba and Quebec regions with the newly designed Reacher arm.
