Bond Manufacturing is recalling about 68,000 folding recliner chairs. The chairs can collapse or fall backward due to faulty support brackets or weak frames, posing fall and severe laceration hazards to consumers. 13 incidents have been reported in which the recalled chairs fell backwards or collapsed.
The recall involves the Rockingham Deluxe Lounge Chairs also sold as Vanderwall Folding Recliner Chairs.
They have a mesh covering attached to the steel frame by a woven cord, and were available in several different colors.
The chairs were sold at hardware, variety and discount department stores nationwide from December 2006 through April 2007 for between $35 and $100.
Consumers should stop using the recalled chairs immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
