Lane Furniture Ind. has announced
the recall of approximately 620,000 High Leg Recliners.
|
 |
|
Style Representation |
A mechanism in the footrest can create a pinch point that can
cause injury if consumers open or recline the chair by reaching
underneath the footrest. Lane has received 18 reports of
incidents involving the subject chairs, including lacerations,
cut fingernails and three reports of broken bones.
The recall includes three-position, high leg recliner chairs
that have a five-digit style number beginning with 026 or 027
and a shipping date prior to May 2002. The style number and
shipping date can be found on a small label located either
underneath the footrest or under the chair itself. High leg
recliner chairs measure 7 inches to 9 inches from the floor.
The recalled recliners were sold nationwide from December 1989
through April 2002.
Consumers/Dealers are encouraged to contact Lane Furniture
Industries to receive a repair kit.
Consumer Contact: Lane Furniture Industries at (800) 467-9555
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the
firm's Web site at
