Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling White Tiger outdoor folding wooden chairs due to a fall hazard. The wooden frame of the chairs can break, which can cause consumers to fall. The chairs were sold individually for about $50 and as part of a three-piece set (one table and two chairs) for about $130. "HD Outdoor" is printed on the chair's packaging.
About 7,000 units were sold nationwide from February 2009 through December 2009. The chairs were sold at Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralph's, Fry's, Smith's, Dillon's, Gerbes, City Market, and Baker's stores. The chairs were imported by Fred Meyer Inc. of Portland, Oregon, and manufactured by White Tiger Traders Co. Ltd. of Taiwan.
Kroger and White Tiger have received three reports of chairs breaking, resulting in minor injuries including back and shoulder pain, sprains, and contusions. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
