Plain-English summary

Dimension Industries Co., Ltd. is recalling the chairs from the Fairview 7-Piece Patio Woven Dining Set. The recall involves approximately 6,700 sets sold exclusively at Costco Wholesale stores nationwide from January 2014 to March 2014 for about $1,300 per set. The set includes a rectangular table with a porcelain tile top and six chairs with black metal frames and brown woven wicker seats. The product was manufactured by Shelton Corporation Jiaxing Ltd. in China and imported by Costco Wholesale Corp.

The chairs pose a fall hazard because the legs can bend and break. Dimension Industries has received three reports of chair legs bending or breaking and causing falls, including one instance where a consumer bumped his head while falling.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and contact Dimension Industries for instructions on receiving a full refund for the set. Costco has also contacted its customers directly.
