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 risk-of-harm product (fire hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Winco Mfg., LLC is recalling 29 units of the Winco Inverness 24-Hour Treatment Recliner, Model Number 6240. The recall involves specific serial numbers ranging from 624100510 to 624100540, with some numbers in that sequence excluded. These chairs were distributed nationwide, including in California, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.

The recall was initiated because a shipment of foam intended for these chairs was received classified as fire retardant but was actually standard foam that does not meet fire retardant standards. This misclassification means the product does not provide the fire safety characteristics indicated by its labeling.

Consumers who possess these specific recliners should stop using them and contact Winco Mfg., LLC for further instructions on the recall process.
