Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores Recall SmartSpace Chairs Due to Fall Hazard
08406 · Recalled 2008-09-24 · CPSC page
Description
This recall involves the SmartSpace™ Papasan chair. The silver metal frame chair has a circular fabric seat that sits on a 10-inch-tall base. The fabric seat used with the papasan chairs were sold in purple, pacific, lime yellow and gray. A hangtag on the chair reads "Smartspace Papasan Chair - 1 piece."
Hazards
The chairs were sold without a warning label instructing consumers to lock the chair's legs before sitting. This poses a fall hazard to consumers.
Reported injuries
Jo-Ann has received five reports of chairs collapsing when the legs were not locked. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the chair until a warning label, instructing consumers to engage the legs in the locked position before use, has been obtained from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores.
