Rio Brands Recalls High-Boy Beach Chairs Due to Fall Hazard

Plain-English summary

Rio Brands, of Philadelphia, Pa., is recalling approximately 800 Rio Beach® High-Boy folding beach chairs. The chairs feature aluminum tubing frames, striped or solid color fabric slings, and wood arms with an attached storage pouch. The specific models involved are SC640-702, SC640-812, SC640-818, SC640-8182, and SC641-084-BB, which can be identified by the UPC and model numbers listed on the hand tag and a sticker on the rear leg.

The recall is being issued because the rear leg of the chair can break, which poses a fall hazard to consumers. Rio Brands has received one report of an incident involving minor bruises.

The chairs were sold at retail stores nationwide from January 2008 through March 2008 for between $40 and $50. Consumers should immediately stop using the chairs and return them to the location where purchased for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can call Rio Brands at (800) 866-8520 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.riobrands.com.
