Plain-English summary

Palliser Furniture Ltd. is recalling the Poof Chairs and Table Set due to a safety hazard. The set includes two semi-circular chairs and one circular table in blue, red, and yellow fabric. A metal rod inside the furniture can protrude through the fabric, and its sharp edges could cause scratches or cuts to consumers.

Approximately 155 units were sold at furniture stores nationwide and in Canada between June 2003 and January 2004 for between $150 and $200. The law label on the bottom of the chair identifies "Hong Feng Furniture Cushion Co." and "Palliser Furniture Ltd." Palliser received one report of a consumer who was scratched.

Consumers should take the product away from children immediately and return the chairs and table to the retailer for a full refund. For more information, consumers can call Palliser Furniture Ltd. at (204) 988-5600 or email [email protected].
