Plain-English summary

La-Z-Boy Incorporated is recalling power supplies sold with Gold Series electric Lift Chairs, including the Clayton Luxury-Lift (Model 1HL562) and Power Lift (Model 1ML562), as well as Luxury-Lift Models 1LF505 and 1LF819. These power supplies were also part of conversion kits for older lift chairs with Models 1LL320, 1LL508, 1LL515, 1LM320, 1LM508, and 1LM515. The recall involves approximately 2,500 units sold in the United States and 210 units sold in Canada. The power supplies are black, plastic rectangular boxes measuring approximately 6 inches by 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Only power supplies with LOT #150113 are included in this recall.

The recall is being issued because the power supply cover can crack within the screw housing and break, causing the cover to detach. This exposes the power supply's electrical components, posing a shock hazard to users. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and La-Z-Boy have not received any reports of injuries or illnesses associated with this defect.

The affected power supplies were sold at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries and independent furniture stores nationwide and online at la-z-boy.com from September 2015 through November 2016. The chairs were sold for between $1,900 and $2,800, while the power supplies were also sold separately for about $170 and provided free under warranty as replacements. Consumers should immediately stop using the power supplies to power the lift chairs and contact La-Z-Boy toll-free at 855-592-9087 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.la-z-boy.com and click on the Recall button, to obtain a free replacement power supply.
