Rite Aid Recalls Folding Patio Chairs Due to Fall Hazard

Rite Aid is recalling about 18,800 folding patio chairs because the frames can bend, causing users to fall and potentially get injured.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (fall hazard) where minor injuries (bruise, laceration) have been reported, but no serious injuries or fatalities are documented, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for injury risk without severe outcomes.

Plain-English summary

Rite Aid is recalling approximately 18,800 folding, metal-framed patio chairs with padded seats. The chairs were sold in tan and gray colors and measure about 24 inches long by 22 inches wide by 37 inches high. The recall involves two specific item numbers: 9043325-MMXIX for the tan chair and 9044998-MMXIX for the gray chair, with corresponding UPC numbers 011822956628 and 011822952361 printed on the packaging.

The chairs were sold at Rite Aid stores nationwide and online at RiteAid.com from February 2019 through June 2019 for about $30. The hazard exists because the chair frame can bend unexpectedly, causing the user to fall and posing a risk of injury. The company has received four reports of chairs bending unexpectedly, including one report of a minor bruise and one report of a laceration injury.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and return them to any Rite Aid store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Rite Aid at 800-748-3243 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, or visit www.riteaid.com and click on "Product Recalls" under Customer Care.
