Plain-English summary

La-Z-Boy Incorporated is recalling approximately 2,600 units of PowerReclineXRw power reclining furniture, including the P16 single-seat recliners, 32P loveseat recliners, and 39P loveseats with consoles. The recall involves furniture sold at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries and independent furniture stores nationwide from January 2015 through March 2015 for prices ranging from $600 to $4,300.

The recalled furniture poses a fall hazard because it can tip forward if a consumer exits the chair while it is in a reclined position without first bringing it to an upright position. La-Z-Boy has received five dealer reports of the furniture tipping forward, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the affected chairs immediately and contact their local dealer for a refund or a repair. A service technician will schedule a time to visit the consumer's home to install a new part. For more information, consumers can call La-Z-Boy toll-free at (855) 592-9087 or visit www.la-z-boy.com.
