TJX Recalls Novogratz Outdoor Metal Hanging Chairs Due to Fall Hazard

TJX Companies is recalling about 5,000 Novogratz outdoor metal hanging chairs sold nationwide. These chairs can tip or fall while occupied, or the supporting hooks or chains can break, causing 16 reported injuries including bruises and a mild concussion.

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 documented structural failure of outdoor seating furniture that has resulted in 16 reported fall-related injuries. While actual harms have been reported (exceeding the theoretical-risk threshold of Score 3), the specific injuries documented—bruises and a mild concussion—do not reach the serious or hospitalization level required for Score 4.

Plain-English summary

The recall involves Novogratz brand outdoor metal hanging chairs sold by HomeGoods, Homesense, and T.J. Maxx or Marshalls combination stores nationwide between March 2021 and May 2022 for between $300 and $330. The chairs come in white, gray, green, and yellow with cushions for seating. Each chair features a metal circle base attached to a metal pole, from which the chair hangs by hook and chain and measures approximately 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide. Style numbers printed on hang tags include AY9162, AY9163, BY9162, BY9163, BY9164, CY9162, CY9163, CY9164, DY9162, DY9164, Y9162, and Y9163.

The hanging chair can tip or fall over while a consumer is seated, or the metal hook or chain suspending the chair can break. The manufacturer has received 22 reports of the chairs tipping, falling, or breaking at the hook or chain, resulting in 16 reported injuries including bruises and a mild concussion.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and return them to any HomeGoods, Homesense, or T.J.
