American Signature is recalling about 2,158 Hayward Push Back reclining armchairs because they can tip over backwards when fully reclined. These 38-inch-high chairs were sold in brown or black faux leather and feature double-needle baseball stitching. They were available exclusively at Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture stores from June 2012 to August 2012 for approximately $150. Consumers can receive free replacement legs or return the chair for full store credit.
The chair can tip over backwards when a user is in the fully reclined position, which poses a fall hazard. While no injuries have been reported yet, the design flaw makes the chair unstable during normal use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and contact American Signature to receive free replacement legs. Consumers may also return the chairs for a store credit equal to the full price of the chair. American Signature is contacting its customers directly.
