Keysheen Recalls Children's Folding Chaise Lounge Chairs Due to Amputation Risk

Plain-English summary

Keysheen International Corp. is recalling approximately 38,300 children's folding chaise lounge chairs in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The chairs feature a metal frame covered in brightly colored printed fabric and have a 65-pound weight limit, making them suitable for children about 8 years old and younger. The hazard exists because if the support leg of the footrest is not fully extended, a child's fingers can become trapped between the leg and the metal frame when sitting down.

CPSC has received one report of a 4-year-old child's fingertip being amputated while using the chair. The chairs were sold nationwide from 1994 to 1997 for approximately $15 to $20 at retail stores including Linens 'n Things, Hecht's, Kohl's, Fred Meyer, Robinsons May, and Hills. The chairs have a sewn-in label on the back reading "SHEENTEX FABRIC...KEYSHEEN."

Consumers should immediately take the chairs away from children to prevent further injury. To receive a full refund, consumers should call Keysheen toll-free at (877) 539-7436 for instructions. The company advises consumers to destroy the chairs to prevent further use by children.
