Summary

Grosfillex has recalled about 92,000 Havana commercial side chairs and armless bar stools because the backrest can crack and detach during use. This defect has already led to three reports of incidents, including neck and shoulder injuries. These products were sold in charcoal, espresso, tobacco, and white colors with aluminum legs and woven plastic wicker seating. They were distributed nationwide to the food service and hospitality industries between April 2008 and August 2015. Depending on the warranty status, the manufacturer is providing free replacements or product vouchers.
