Plain-English summary

Casual Living Worldwide is recalling approximately 2 million swivel patio chairs sold exclusively at Home Depot stores and online from January 2007 to February 2016. The recall includes Hampton Bay Anselmo, Calabria, and Dana Point chairs, as well as Martha Stewart Living branded Cardona, Grand Bank, and Wellington swivel patio chairs. These chairs are made of aluminum and steel with a round swivel base and arm rests, and were sold as pairs or as part of seven-piece patio sets.

The chairs are being recalled because the base can break during normal use, posing a fall hazard to the user. The firm has received 25 reports of the chairs breaking, which resulted in bruising and scrapes from falls. In addition to the U.S. units, about 30,000 chairs were sold in Canada and about 14,000 in Mexico.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and contact Casual Living Worldwide for a free repair kit. The company can be reached toll-free at 855-899-2127 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET on Monday through Friday, or online at www.casuallivingoutdoors.com by clicking on "Recall Information".
