06187 · Recalled 2006-06-13 · CPSC page
Description
The rocker is part of the Herrington collection of patio furniture. The rocker is dark brown with a brown cloth seat, has a swivel base and a cut out pattern on the metal backrest. The item number, 119178, is printed on the rocker's packaging and on the assembly instructions. The rocker came in two sections, a base and a seat, and customers were required to bolt the seat to the base.
Hazards
The recalled swivel rockers can be assembled incorrectly, causing them to break at the base or tip over backward easily. This poses a fall hazard to consumers.
Reported injuries
LG Sourcing received nine reports of injuries, including bruises and abrasions, when the rocker broke or tipped over. One individual reported having a slight concussion. All of the reported injuries involved display models at Lowe's stores.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled rockers immediately and return them to any Lowe's store for a full refund.
