Summary

Grand Rapids Chair Company is recalling approximately 2,300 Sadie chairs (model 837) and Sadie barstools (model 837S). The back legs of these chairs can bend, and the screws or tabs holding the seat can loosen over time. The firm has already received three reports of finger injuries, including a fracture, a laceration, and bruising. Consumers should stop using the recalled furniture immediately and contact the manufacturer to arrange a free repair.

Risk

When the seat tabs or screws loosen, small gaps are created between the seat and the steel frame that can pinch or trap fingers, posing a risk of lacerations and fractures. Additionally, structural failure of the back legs can lead to instability.
