Pier 1 Imports Recalls Katerina Outdoor Patio Swivel Armchairs

Plain-English summary

Pier 1 Imports is recalling its Katerina model outdoor patio swivel armchairs due to a fall hazard. The chairs are black/brown powder-coated aluminum and are designed to swivel and rock. They measure approximately 29 inches wide, 32 inches deep, and 38 inches high. The specific SKU number 2899742 is printed on the chair's hangtag along with the Pier 1 Imports and Katerina brand names.

The hazard exists because the swivel armchair can tip backward while rocking, which can cause consumers to fall off. Pier 1 Imports has received five reports of the chair tipping over in stores with consumers in them. One of these reports involved a consumer who received contusions and scratches.

About 2,500 units were sold in the United States and about 30 were sold in Canada. The chairs were sold at Pier 1 Imports stores nationwide and online at www.Pier1.com from December 2014 through July 2015 for between $375 and $580. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swivel armchairs and return them to any Pier 1 Imports store for a full refund or store credit.
