What’s the Problem?
The recalled products include outdoor chairs and barstools sold with powder-coated aluminum frames. The CPSC reports that the chair and barstool legs can bend or break while the product is in use.
If a leg bends or breaks, the person sitting on the chair or barstool can fall, increasing the risk of injury. The fall hazard is especially dangerous if the user loses balance and hits nearby hard surfaces or equipment.
