Plain-English summary

Brooks Furniture Mfg. Inc. is recalling two styles of glider rockers, models 1529P and 1529V-LM, due to a fall hazard. The spindles in the glider base can separate while rocking, which poses a risk of falling to the user.

The recalled chairs were sold exclusively to Kaplan Early Learning nationwide from October 2011 to December 2012 for approximately $390 to $540. About 350 units are included in the recall. The 1529P style features a maple wood frame with blue fabric upholstery, while the 1529V-LM style has a maple wood frame with beige vinyl upholstery and a locking mechanism.
