Nest Swing Egg Chairs Recalled Due to Fall Hazard

TJX is recalling approximately 30,600 Nest Swing Egg Chairs sold at Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods, and Homesense stores because the chairs can tip over or collapse when occupied, posing a fall hazard.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall meets the Severe criteria because it involves reports of injury, including one report of broken ribs and collapsed lung, demonstrating significant injury risk. Although no fatalities are documented, the combination of 19 injury reports and a serious injury (broken ribs and collapsed lung) satisfies the threshold for Severe classification.
