Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Big Lots is recalling approximately 16,000 egg-shaped hanging chairs because they can tip over when swinging sideways, posing a fall hazard. The chairs feature a brown plastic wicker mesh pattern and red seat cushions, suspended by a chain from a black metal pole and U-shaped base. Big Lots has received eight reports of these chairs falling while consumers were in them, resulting in five minor injuries. Consumers should immediately stop using these chairs and return only the base to any Big Lots store for a full refund of the entire purchase price.

Risk
