Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

About 15,400 children's folding beach chairs are being recalled because they have exposed, sharp metal rivets. These sharp rivets can cause cuts if a child falls on or comes into contact with them, and one 21-month-old girl has already required stitches for a forehead injury. The chairs were sold in pink, yellow, blue, and purple with decorations like fish, palm trees, or mermaids between June 2011 and June 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using these chairs and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The chairs feature sharp metal rivets that are not properly covered, which can cut a child's skin during normal use or if they fall against the chair frame. One serious injury requiring stitches has been reported.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled folding beach chairs and keep them away from children.
  2. Identify your chair by its white aluminum tube frame and colored fabric (pink, yellow, blue, or purple) with decorations including fish, palm trees, or mermaids. The chairs measure approximately 13 inches wide by 18 inches high by 20 inches deep.
  3. Return the affected beach chair to Downeast Concepts to receive a full refund.
