Plain-English summary

Cost Plus World Market is recalling approximately 2,600 Girona outdoor dining chairs. The recall involves wooden chairs with four legs and a back and seat made of flat woven weather-resistant wicker straps. The chairs were sold in white and grey colors.

The firm received three reports of the tenon joint separating between the chair's back and seat, as well as two reports of in-store display chairs collapsing while being used by customers. These two customers reported receiving minor cuts and bruises. The hazard is that the seat base can separate from the chair back, causing the chair to collapse and posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The chairs were sold at Cost Plus World Market and World Market stores nationwide and online from January 2017 through August 2017 for about $180. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and return them to any Cost Plus World Market or World Market store for a full refund.
