About 2,700 high-back upholstered reading chairs featuring a black and white floral print are being recalled. The recall was issued because the front legs on chairs manufactured without specific support blocks can bend or break during use, which has already resulted in eight reports of leg failures and one consumer injury from a fall. These chairs were sold nationwide at Cost Plus World Market and World Market stores, as well as online, between January 2015 and September 2015. Consumers with affected chairs are eligible for a free exchange.
The front legs can suddenly bend or snap if they lack internal support blocks, causing the chair to collapse and the user to fall to the floor. One injury has been reported where a consumer fell out of the chair due to this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and inspect the front legs for support blocks. Chairs without support blocks can be returned to any Cost Plus World Market for a free exchange. Consumers should contact Cost Plus World Market or log onto www.worldmarket.com for instructions on how to inspect the chair legs for support blocks.
