Item 8.01.        Other Events.

     The Company  recently  became aware of a potential  embezzlement  at one of
Invacare's  foreign  facilities,  which  is  being  investigated  by  the  local
authorities.  The  embezzlement  is believed to have  occurred from January 2005
through  March  2007.  The  Company's   internal  audit  function  is  currently
performing both an internal audit and a forensic audit into this situation.  The
Company carries insurance on employee dishonesty in the amount of $5 million and
believes it will recover the entire  amount of that policy after  completion  of
the  necessary  paperwork.  The  Company  does not  believe  the  impact  of the
embezzlement and the related insurance  proceeds will have a significant  impact
on its financial results,  operations or plans and believes that the appropriate
internal controls were in place but were circumvented by collusion.
