Metal-framed Armchairs Recalled for Fall and Injury Hazards

Ross Stores is recalling about 1,600 metal-framed armchairs because the chair legs can bend or break, posing fall and injury hazards. The company has received five reports of broken legs, four of which resulted in minor injuries.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in the chair legs that has resulted in four reports of minor injuries (soreness and contusions), which does not meet the threshold for High or higher severity. This fits the Moderate category as a voluntary precautionary recall with minor injury reports.
