Plain-English summary

Lowe's is recalling approximately 1,100 Herrington Swivel Rockers sold nationwide from October 2005 through February 2006. The rockers, manufactured by Hanamint Corporation (Jiaxing), Inc., of China, were sold for about $420 for a set of two. The product is part of the Herrington collection of patio furniture and features a dark brown finish, brown cloth seat, and a swivel base with a cut-out pattern on the metal backrest. The item number 119178 is printed on the packaging and assembly instructions.

The recall is due to a fall hazard. The swivel rockers can be assembled incorrectly, which may cause them to break at the base or tip over backward easily. LG Sourcing received nine reports of injuries, including bruises, abrasions, and one slight concussion, when the rockers broke or tipped over. All reported injuries involved display models at Lowe's stores.

Consumers should stop using the recalled rockers immediately. They can return the rockers to any Lowe's store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Lowe's toll-free at (866) 259-8170 or visit www.lowes.com.
