Latest News & Updates
May 2026
The CPSC announced Joy Furniture’s recall of Talan and Royce living room furniture sets because the power switch on the sofa, loveseat, or recliner can malfunction and overheat, creating a fire hazard. Consumers were instructed to stop using the power recliner switch, unplug the power cord immediately, and participate in the recall for a free replacement switch installation [1].
What Is the Joy Furniture Power Recliner?
The recall involves Talan and Royce Collection powered living room furniture sets. The Talan powered group includes a sofa, loveseat, and recliner with model numbers JF1126-4PHL, JF1126-5PHL, and JF1126-9PHL.

Reported Risks or Injuries
- Overheating power switches
- Electrical odor, smoking, or burning
- Furniture fires
- Smoke exposure or property damage
- Serious injury risk if a fire spreads inside a home
How Does the Problem Occur?
The fire risk can occur when the power switch on a recalled sofa, loveseat, or recliner malfunctions and overheats. Because powered furniture is often placed in living rooms, family rooms, or bedrooms, an overheating switch may create risk near upholstery, flooring, blankets, or other household materials.
The recalled furniture was sold at Raymour & Flanigan Furniture in Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The Talan furniture was sold from January 2024 through March 2026 for about $1,000 to $2,200, while the Royce furniture was sold from May 2025 through mid-May 2026 for about $800 to $1,800.
Who May Be Affected?
