Plain-English summary

Ross Stores is recalling about 840 metal folding bistro chairs sold nationwide from February 2014 through April 2014 for about $30. The chairs are orange, measure about 36 inches tall by 15 inches wide by 16 inches deep, and have perforations on the seat. The SKU 400101018858 is found on the product hangtag. The chairs were manufactured in China by Ross Procurement Inc., of Dublin, Calif.

The recall is due to a fall hazard. The chair's seat can fail to attach to the frame when the chair is unfolded, causing the chair to collapse. Ross has received three reports of minor injuries from the chairs collapsing, including a back strain and minor bruises.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs with seats that do not attach to the frame and return them to any Ross store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Ross toll-free at (877) 455-7677 anytime or visit www.rossstores.com and click on "Recalled Products and Legal Notices" on the bottom banner.
