Plain-English summary
Global Industries, Inc. is announcing a program to replace the bases on approximately 7,000 Executive Hi-back Tilter Chairs in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The chairs, model number 3990, may tip over if consumers lean far forward. Global Industries and CPSC are not aware of any injuries associated with the chairs.
The executive-style chairs measure approximately 40 inches high and feature a gray nylon fabric cover with black plastic arms. Office Depot stores sold the chairs nationwide from April 1994 to October 1, 1995, for approximately $300. Chairs purchased after October 1, 1995, are not involved in this program.
The repair program will replace the existing base with a new, larger base to add stability and guard against the possibility of front tipover. Consumers who own these chairs should call toll-free 1-888-CHAIRS-8 (242-4778) to have Global Industries send a new base at no charge.
