Plain-English summary

4Seasons Global, Inc. is recalling approximately 3,200 folding lounge chairs sold exclusively at Ross Stores nationwide between April and June 2013. The chairs are made of steel tube frames and textilene fabric with an attached head cushion and are available in bronze, turquoise, or orange. The affected product SKU numbers are 400085136029 (bronze), 400085136036 (turquoise), and 400085136043 (orange). These SKU numbers can be found on the retailer's hang tag attached to one of the arms of the chair. A separate manufacturer's tag sewn on the back of the chair states "Weight limit - 250 lbs." and "Made in China."

The chairs are being recalled because they can tip or recline too quickly, which poses a fall hazard. 4Seasons has received five reports of falls occurring in Ross Stores, three of which resulted in minor injuries.

Consumers should stop using the chairs immediately. To receive a full refund, consumers should carefully cut out a 5-inch by 5-inch piece of the fabric on the seat of the chair to render it unusable and remove the manufacturer's tag from the back of the chair. Consumers can contact 4Seasons toll-free at (888) 529-6524 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.4seasonsglobal.com and click on Product Recall for more information.
