Plain-English summary

Hanamint Corp. is recalling approximately 12,000 swivel rockers, club swivel rockers, and club swivel gliders. The recall involves all dining swivel rockers, club swivel rockers, and club swivel gliders in all designs with mechanisms that have solid posts. These aluminum-framed chairs are for indoor and outdoor use and were sold in finishes including black, desert bronze, and terra mist. The Hanamint logo is cast into the underside of the seat.
