Plain-English summary

Rec-Out LLC is recalling approximately 227 Basin model Columbus folding camping chairs. The chairs are blue, foam-padded, polyester units with a cushioned seat and back, identified by style number CC3009-N on a label attached to the side of the seat. The word "Columbus" appears on the outer side of the back of the seat, above a mesh pocket.
